Jerry D. Sabrowsky, 85, of Sheboygan, was called to the Lord on Thursday, June 4, 2026, surrounded by his family.
He was born on March 23, 1941, in Sheboygan to the late Edward and Lorena (Van Sluys) Sabrowsky. Jerry graduated from Central High School with the Class of 1959. He proudly served in the Wisconsin National Guard, completing his training at Camp McCoy. On September 14, 1963, he was united in marriage to Audrey Yurk at Ebenezer Lutheran Church in Sheboygan.

A faithful and active member of Bethany Lutheran Church in Kohler, Jerry’s strong Christian faith was a guiding force throughout his life.
Jerry was an avid hunter and fisherman who enjoyed spending time outdoors. He had a passion for gardening, cultivating fruit trees and grapes, and took great pride in making his own wine. He was a longtime member of Ducks Unlimited and enjoyed trapshooting from a young age. Jerry and Audrey were among the early supporters of Sheboygan Lutheran High School, where they proudly enrolled all three of their daughters.
