Jerry Bugge, 76, of Faribault, Minnesota, passed away on Saturday, Sept. 29, 2018, at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis.

Jerry was born on June 27, 1942, in Austin, Minnesota, to Erving and Marge Bugge. He graduated from Austin High School in 1960. After graduation, he moved to California and managed a chain of fast food restaurants in the Oakland, California, area. In the early 70s, he moved to Faribault and managed Mealy’s Restaurant. He was also employed at Crown Cork and Seal and Cabela’s.

Jerry was an avid fisherman and loved to do tournaments with Bernie. He never missed a Viscomi hockey game ever. He loved his dog, Daisy. He had great respect for Native American culture. He was always up for a game of bags. He was the first to offer help and the last to ever complain. He will truly be missed as a friend, father, brother, and grandpa. God bless you Jerry; you are always in our hearts.

Jerry is survived by his children, Kelli (Bruce) Rayburn of El Sobrante, California, Michael (Geneva) Bugge of Richmond, California, and Sara Marquez of El Sobrante; grandchildren, Jack, Penelope and Lula; sisters, Sandy Fielding and Wanda (Jon) Lenoch; nieces and nephews. Jerry is also survived by his special friend, Toni Mickelson; her special children, Janna and Bernie Viscomi; special grandchildren, Nikki and Dylan Eastman, Andrew Viscomi and Chris Viscomi; and special great-grandchild, Eli Eastman.

Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, Erving and Marge Bugge.

At his request, his body was bequeathed to Mayo Clinic for education and no service will be held.
