He enjoyed spending time outdoors, feeding birds, watching wildlife, and mushroom hunting. Jerry was involved in Scouting during his youth, and shared his enthusiasm for the program with his son and grandson throughout the years. He cared deeply for his children and grandchildren and always showed great pride in their accomplishments. Surviving relatives include his children, Douglas W. McCracken of Ellettsville, Indiana; Jennifer J. McCracken (Christopher Andre Phillips) of Ogden, Utah; his grandchildren Jeremiah J. McCracken, Cora C. McCracken, and Emerson L. Phillips; his siblings, Bill McCracken (Anita) of Coalmont, Indiana, Judy Francis (David) of Mooresville, Indiana, and Penny Parson (James) of Coalmont, Indiana.
