HUMBOLDT — Humboldt City Councilman Jerry Stephens, 61, died Sunday evening at Overland Park Regional Medical Center following a sudden illness.
Stephens, a Humboldt native who returned to his hometown in 2012 after living much of his adult life in southern California, quickly reintegrated himself into the community upon his return.
In addition to serving on the City Council, Stephens was active with the Humboldt and Iola Rotary clubs, the Lions Club, Biblesta Committee, Humboldt PRIDE and Humboldt’s Downtown Action Team.
“Jerry was such a super positive guy, who was always wishing others would do well,” Cole Herder, Humboldt city administrator told the Register. “He was a true asset. We’re going to miss him dearly.”
A memorial service is at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Humboldt’s First Baptist Church, where Stephens was a member.
