Choices through prevention & education
In Memory of Gerald R. "Jerry" Decker
At the request of his wife, Dee Decker, those wishing to honor Jerry may make a memorial gift to the Caden Ingram Foundation in lieu of flowers.
Dee helped build the Foundation from its earliest days, and she and Jerry stood beside our family after Caden's passing-helping make his celebration of life at Admirals Cove possible and continuing to support the work created in his memory. Their kindness, generosity, and belief in the Foundation have left a lasting mark, and we are deeply honored that Dee has chosen CIF as a way to remember Jerry.
