Jerold L. Ratliff
February 24, 1956 ~ September 24, 2021
Jerold L. “Jerry” Ratliff, recently of Mooresville, Indiana, formerly of Parker, Colorado, passed away suddenly of a heart attack September 24, 2021. Jerry was born February 24, 1956, in La Junta, Colorado, to the late Asa Ratliff and Ardith (Bettis) McKinster. He married Kristen (Miller) Ratliff on July 21, 1984, and she survives.
Jerry graduated from Douglas County High School in Colorado. Mechanically minded, he retired from the United State Postal Service in 2019, where he worked as a mechanic. He enjoyed classic cars, racing boat, and just about anything that went fast. Jerry was especially proud of his 1962 Impala; it was the first car he ever purchased and had recently restored it to its original condition. He will be fondly remembered by a loving family and friends.
Survivors include his wife of 37 years, Kristen; children, Beth (Jeff) Latte, Zak (Melissa) Ratliff, and Gage (Elizabeth) Ratliff; siblings, Ace (Trish) Ratliff, Mike (Chris) Ratliff, and Lori Holt.

I spent manys in that 62, we both worked at the Pondarosa Inn his mom owned, went to school together, partied together. I am blessed to have known him. I was lucky to see him and talked to him a few times in the last couple of years.
My Heartfelt sympathy to all of Jerry’s family and loved ones. ….RIP my dear friend, you will always live on in my memories of the War Horse!
