Jerry Maranville

Post by Dave Grothusen »

Jerry was from Matheson, CO and lived the last years of his life there. I met him when he was at Kansas State University. He changed my life. I first heard him play in 1964, Prior to that I did not know what a steel guitar was. He got me started on a MultiKord.
Jerry had a Phd in agronomy and taught at Nebraska and worked with farmers all over the world.
RIP Jerry and thanks for what you did for me.
My prayers are with Donna and the family.

Never met Jerry, but remember seeing many of his posts here. He sometimes signed simply J Maranville as his member name.

Condolences to the family and friends.

Hey this is Charley Maranville, I am Jerry Maranville’s niece. I’m fifteen years old and he was helping me learn how to play the steel guitar. He talked a lot about you guys and the Steel Guitar Forum. He really enjoyed this site and made sure that I became a member!

I have just been reading some in Jerry's book, "Out Standing In His Field". It's an excellent story of Jerry's progression through life and his profession. Very sad news, indeed. I know he love the pedal steel and life.
