Jerry Pairez

Jerry Pairez was born to Natalia Pairez on September 2nd, 1960. He departed this earthly life on February 26th, 2024. 

Jerry moved to the United States when he was just 18 years old. With all odds stacked against him he learned fluent English, and developed his love for music. Jerry was one with rock and roll. He cherished his guitars, writing songs, sharing his music, and his memories with the many bands he formed. Music was his one true passion. 

Jerry was a dreamer and a lover. He dreamed of meeting his grandchildren, making it big on the stage, and being able to afford nothing but the best of everything for his 3 children. Jerry was a proud father. If there was anything he loved more than rock and roll, it was his children. He praised and boasted about them constantly to anybody that would listen. 

Jerry Pairez is survived by his mother, Natalia Pairez, Grand Forks; son, Dyllan Pairez, Grand Forks; daughter, Amber Bell, Colorado; son, Brandon Shaw, ; sister, Jeanette Wyatt, Grand Forks; niece, Rachel Alderson, Fargo; and his 3 grandchildren. 

A Memorial Service will be held at Amundson Funeral Home on Tuesday, March 12 at 1:00PM with Chaplain Bud Johnson officiating. Per family request no visitation will be held.
