Lawrence Jerome (Jerry) Ehlert, 67, of Richmond, TX, passed away April 21, 2020, at his home. No services are planned at this time.

Born December 30, 1952 to Robert E. Ehlert and Shirley Durrant Ehlert in Coronado, California. He spent his childhood in Houston, Texas.

He is survived by his children Eli Burr and Cheyenne Ehlert of North Carolina and his sisters S. Colette Chapman and Lyssa Stackpoole along with nieces Shannon Resendiz and Kristen Stackpoole and great nieces Angelica, Layla, Violet and Penelope of Richmond Texas and nephews Evan Chapman of Richmond Texas and Tyler Chapman of Raleigh North Carolina.

As a lifelong "gearhead ", he built racing motorcycles and traveled to racetracks all over the United States. His career as an industrial coating specialist took him to North Carolina where he was a motorsports enthusiast involved in the NASCAR industry.  He was proud of his 8 years as an assistant Boy Scout leader in Maiden, North Carolina.

In retirement Jerry was devoted to community service to seniors in Fort Bend County Texas delivering Meals on Wheels several days a week. He loved his church family and was quick to volunteer his time with his church, First Baptist Church of Rosenberg Texas and he was always giving a helping hand to family, friends and neighbors. His sweet smile and loving heart will be missed.
