It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jerry Danuser.

William Jerry Danuser, 80, of Fulton, Mo., passed away November 29, 2024, at his home.

Jerry was born in Fulton on December 7, 1943, the son of the late John Henry Danuser and the late Lillian Hill (Hamilton) Danuser. He was united in marriage to Janet (Burnett) Danuser on August 15, 1970. She survives his passing.

A 1961 graduate of Fulton High School, Jerry left college and joined the United States Air Force. He returned to Fulton in 1968 and, in 1976, following the death of his father the year prior, became the third-generation family owner of Danuser Machine Company. The company is a leader in agricultural and industrial attachments and an OEM supplier to manufacturers in several industries. He was a past president of the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association (FEMA) and belonged to several industry and philanthropic organizations. Jerry’s lifelong passion was shooting. He traveled the globe for hunting and shooting competitions and enjoyed many of his best friendships with people in those industries.

In addition to his wife, Jerry will be lovingly remembered by his son Glenn Danuser (Dawn), daughter Janea Danuser, who are current co-owners of the now 4th generation company, and grandchildren Corbin Danuser and Raelynn Danuser, all of Fulton. Family friend David Shene and hospice nurse Jennifer Vandeloecht helped to bring him joy and entertainment this last year. In addition to his parents, Jerry was preceded in death by his brother John LeCompte Danuser.
