Jerry Arnold Good
Sept. 30, 1953 - Jan. 23, 2025
Jerry Arnold Good, 71, of Clyde Park, Mont., passed away at his home in Clyde Park, Mont., early morning Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025, surrounded by his wife Cindy and very special friends, JimBo and Chris Logan.
Jerry was born Sept. 30, 1953, in Greybull, Wyo., to Albert and Wilma (Collingwood) Good. He attended Greybull, Wyo., High School and graduated in 1973. After graduating he went to work for Dresser Minerals in Greybull for 12 years. On June 30, 1984, he married Cindy Frederick in Livingston, Mont. They lived in Greybull for approximately a year before moving to Clyde Park to work for Elise Donohue who had the Double D Ranch. In 1991 they moved back to Greybull for two years. In 1993, they purchased the Shields Valley Hardware & Framing that they owned until 2021. Jerry and Cindy were fortunate to be able to live across the street from Les and Anne Frederick, who were a big part of their lives.
Jerry also worked for Shields Valley Busing for 30-plus years. Transporting the local children to and from school was an important task for him. Jerry took pride in the fact that he was able to transport two generations of students to school. He also worked auction days for Logan Auction Service for several years.
Some of Jerry’s favorite things were camping, fishing, animals, Bronco football, black and white westerns, John Wayne, a good golf game with his friends and a great margarita. In 2023 Skip and Nancy McIlhattan joined Jerry and Cindy for a trip to Africa. It was the trip of a lifetime. He loved everything it entailed, the beautiful country and amazing animals. Sharing this adventure and his pictures with whoever he could was such a treat.
Jerry is survived by wife Cindy, siblings Donna (Ron) Dalin, Leonard Good, Cheryl (Dan) Dalin, twin brother Larry (Jane) Good and Tony Good; son Nathen (Krista) Good; grandchildren Zachree Welch, Rachelle Welch-Barnett, Malachi Good, Amelia Good and Gracie Good; brother-in-law and sister-in-law Mike and Patty Frederick; special niece Katie, numerous other nieces, nephews, and friends.
He was preceded in death by parents Albert and Wilma Good; sister Bonnie Miller; father-in-law Lester Frederick, and mother-in-law Annabelle Frederick.
