Jerry Michael Milby, 71, of Indiana (formerly of Green County, KY), passed away Tuesday, August 1, 2023 at his home. He was born on August 21, 1951 to the late Harlan and Juella Milby (who survives) in Green County, KY.
Jerry's family moved to Louisville when he was young and in 1969 he graduated from PRP High School and enlisted in the United States Army. Jerry was very proud to have served and been assigned to the Army Security Agency stationed in West Berlin with the specialized role of intercepting communications in morse code. Upon his return from Berlin, he settled in Louisville, married, and then welcomed his daughter, Blair in 1983.
A Kentucky boy to his core who always loved being in the country - he loved to write songs, collect things, crack a joke, watch a big storm roll in, go fishing, play golf, watch UK win a basketball game, or just spend time watching a good tennis match with Anne on TV. A proud member of Blue River Baptist Church in Depauw, IN, he walked in the ways of Christ. He was kind to everyone and would always listen without judgement. For these qualities and so many more, he was loved immensely by family, friends, and coworkers.
In addition to his father, he was also preceded in death by a stepson, Jefferey Dixion.
