Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Jerald “Jerry” Victor Hall, 57, passed away Sunday, August 28, 2022. Jerry was born the youngest of three children to Nannie and Earl Hall in Mattoon, IL on October 21, 1964. He worked in the casino business for seventeen years before transitioning into car sales in 2010. He had a passion for helping people and he was able to do that in the automotive field.
As a young child Jerry’s family moved to Kansas City, MO. He met his wife, Carla Gregory, in 1982 at North Kansas City High School where they both attended school. They married on October 29, 1988, surrounded by friends and family. In 1993, Jerry and Carla had their first child, Delaney. 7 years later, they welcomed their second child, Mikinlee “Miki”, into the world. He worked hard to make sure they were taken care of and felt loved every day.
Jerry wore many titles: husband, dad, brother, son, friend, KC Hammer Hall, Late Night Jimmy Fallon, and, perhaps his most well-known title, Coach. He began coaching in the 90s when the son of family friends wanted to play soccer. When Delaney was in second grade, she asked her dad to coach a soccer team for her too. Although a little reluctant to coach a second-grade team, he said yes. Miki was only in preschool when she asked him to coach a soccer team for her and again, he said yes. Jerry dedicated over a decade to coaching both of their teams. Even after Miki went to high school and his soccer coaching days were done, he remained the best coach. He used his coaching skills to be a successful navigator through daily life, tackling projects around the house with Carla, and even spending his Father’s Day teaching his son-in-law, Kevin, how to hit a golf ball.
Jerry loved his dogs. He always claimed he did not want Carla to bring home another one, but they always ended up sleeping in his bed the first night. Although not the best decision, he would sneak whatever he was eating under the table to them. He always said his way of honoring his dogs was to rescue another one and make sure they were spoiled.
Jerry began bowling in the 80s. After many championships, his proudest moment was bowling a 300 game and being inducted into the Bowling Hall of Fame. In addition to bowling, he loved playing Golden Tee. His competitive nature encouraged him to compete in national tournaments. He enjoyed spending his evenings and days off mowing the lawn on his new riding lawn mower and playing games with good friends on his PlayStation. His catch phrase was “I almost had ‘em” and he could always be counted on for “just one more game” of Fortnite.
He was preceded in death by his mom, Nannie, his dad, Earl, and many beloved pets.
He is survived by his wife, Carla Gregory-Hall, his children Delaney Hall-Keefer (Kevin Keefer), Miki Hall (Landon Alexander), his sisters Debbie (Scott Kennedy) and Irene (Michael Davidson), his dog Aspen, and countless soccer players.
A Celebration of Life for Jerry will be held Saturday September 3, 2022, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM at Heartland Cremation and Burial Society. 6113 Blue Ridge Blvd. Raytown, MO 64118.

Carla,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. Jerry was a great man that helped me out more than once when I was down in life. I have always been grateful for his help as it was steps in getting me to this who I am today in life. He also interduced me to the game of golf that I still have ferocious compassion for the game to this day. I still thought of him often on the course wondering if he was still playing the game. You and the girls are in my thoughts and prays.
God Bless

Carla and family,
We were so sad to hear about Jerry’s passing! He was such a wonderful person! He has helped us over the past several years to find the perfect car for us, our children, and our grandchildren each and every time. We found out about Jerry’s passing when my grandson went in to pick up paperwork at the dealership this week. He always kept us updated on how you were and all about his family. Please know we are so sorry for your loss and you are in our thoughts and prayers. We will miss him greatly!

Hugs for you and the girls Carla. I’m at a lost for words. His friendship made life fun back in our glory days. I will miss you Mouse.
I am deeply sorry for the loss of this wonderful man. He loved you all dearly, I can see this in the beautiful description about his life with you.
Death does not take our memories, memories never die but pass down to future generations from the imprint we leave behind.
I thank you for the love because love gets passed on and it has the capacity to grow endlessness.
Please accept my condolences.
Carla, Delaney & Miki,
A few days ago when we were visiting we started telling stories about Jerry. The stories made us laugh and lifted our spirits. As you navigate through the grief remember all of the wonderful memories you made with Jerry . The memories will keep Jerry’s spirit alive and bring you peace and comfort. We love you and are here if you need anything.
Debbie & Family,
So incredibly sorry to hear of the loss of your brother. All of you will be in our continued thoughts & prayers.

I have known Jerry for over 30 years from bowling and selling me and my family cars. He was a awesome person. I am so sorry for the loss to the family. Sending prayers he will be greatly missed.
Dear Carla, I’m so sorry!! We had some great times with Jerry and the “Attack”. It was really special to see him coach Hallie as a goalie, after that’d been his position??. He was a great guy and I hate that he’s gone for all of us but mostly for you Miki and Delaney. If there is ever anything I can do for you all, please just let me know. Love & prayers?
