Jerald Dwayne Liebig was born October 13, 1947, in Jamestown, ND, to William and Lucille (Schimelfenig) Liebig.  Jerald was the oldest of three children. He graduated from Carrington High School in 1965.  He then attended NDSCS at Wahpeton, ND, and graduated in 1967, with a degree in diesel mechanics.  Jerald was in the Army for a short period of time until his medical discharge.

Message: What a loss!  Jerald was a favorite cousin of mine.  He was gracious, talented, and willing to help as needed.  My Mom Lucille and  Aunt Lucille were the best of sister in laws.  I remember their laughter.  Wish I were closer to North Dakota and could have seen Jerald more so we could have laughed too..
