Jerry Warren

Jerry “Ace” Warren, 75 died peacefully May 23, 2019, in his home with his loving wife of 54 years, Lyrene by his side in Twin Falls, ID. Jerry was born on January 15, 1944 in West Plains, Missouri to Eugene and Lora Warren.  He served in the US Navy, spending two years on the USS Enterprise as a member of the crash crew.  On his way to Alaska to find work, he met his soul mate, Lyrene Adams in Twin Falls, ID. They met in March, were married on July 25, 1964 in Twin Falls and together they founded Ace Refrigeration and Tour Ice Company in 1972 and 1977 respectively.  The couple welcomed one daughter and much later, four grandchildren whom Jerry mentored in refrigeration, mechanical skills, and overall perseverance.   Jerry was an entrepreneur at heart, and together with his wife, Lyrene, they developed property in Stanley, Idaho and opened the Stanley Stop Convenience store.  Jerry loved the Stanley area; he enjoyed hunting and exploring in the fall, and snowmobiling during the winter.  He was an avid rider and rode many miles with his wife, family and friends.  He always took the lead, as he knew the area so well. Jerry was witty and resourceful, always finding a way through challenges.  He was passionate about order and hard work, giving his best to all his projects and requiring the same of his family.  He also enjoyed entertaining and offered everyone a seat at the table.  He was an excellent cook, specializing in comfort foods and well known for his biscuits and gravy, and New Year’s Prime Rib Dinner. His health issues prevented him from enjoying these activities the last few years, but he enjoyed hearing the ventures of his grandchildren as they followed in his footsteps.  We miss him so much and we will hold all the memories we made as a family very close to our hearts.  Surviving Jerry is his wife Lyrene and daughter Lisa. As well as four grandchildren; Josh, Jordan, Page, and Kash and five great grandchildren; Zachary, Braeden, Genevieve, Finn, and Marley. Also surviving are his brother Glen (Isabelle), and sister Mary Lou. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Larry, and sister Patsy. We would like to thank the St Luke’s Hospice Staff for their kind, compassionate and understanding care through this difficult journey.  Rest high on the mountain, Papa, your work here on earth is done.
