Champaign – Jerry Allen Schofield, 70, passed away on Saturday July 9, 2016 at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, IL. He was born on March 3, 1946 in Olney, IL to William Allen and Margaret (Bute) Schofield. Jerry married Lynne Smith on June 29, 1985 in Apopka, FL.

Jerry is survived by his mother; wife; son Eric (Jennifer) Smith; daughters Barbara Hunsinger, Suzanne (Mike) Hopkins, Rebecca Schofield, and Melissa (Bob) Vedder; grandchildren Colbi, Corri, Ashleigh, Tiffani, Seth, Emily, Olivia, Kaleb, Colter, and Nora; great-grandchildren Brooklin, Coleson, Teagan, Aubrey, Natalie, and baby Zoey on the way; sister Karen (Cliff) McCarty; and his loving dachshunds Axel and Remmington. Jerry is preceded in death by his father.

Jerry was a good man that loved & was loved by all. He made an impact on everyone's life. He would describe himself as "Aby-Normal", even his grandchildren called him Grandpa Goofy.
Jerry was a proud member of the American Legion and a lifetime History Channel Club member. He loved his time spent as volunteer Fire Chief in Spring Bay, Il. He spent his life driving semis all over the country and he was a Vietnam Veteran of the U.S. Navy.

He was a nature lover that adored all animals, walking the creek and making memories with his family at Wildlife Prairie Park. He became a professional rescuer of kids stuck in trees and his love of pick-up trucks led to teaching his kids to drive on old dirt roads. Jerry also adored Oreos, burgers, chocolate, Grandma's banana pudding and all his amazing friends at The Pet Palace. He had a great love of music, especially the Blues, but what he loved most was the wind in his hair and the roar of his Harley! Although he will forever be missed, we know that he lives on. For bikers never die, they just ride the clouds instead.

A memorial service will be held on Wednesday July 13, 2016 at 11am at Sunset Funeral Home at 710 N. Neil Street, Champaign, IL 61820. Urn committal with military rites will take place on Friday July 15, 2016 at 2pm at Spring Bay Cemetery in Spring Bay, IL.
