On Thursday, May 16, 2019 Jerry Frank Hejny, 86, of Dorchester, Texas left us for his glorious appointed time to be with the Lord.
Mr  Hejny entered this world September 23, 1932 in Quitrman, Texas, son of Frank Joe and Vlastie Ann Hejny.  They moved to Dorchester, Texas soon after.  He met the love of his life, Norma Garner, and they married June 9, 1953 in Dorchester, Texas.  He loved her with all his heart.
Jerry farmed with his father for several years.  He then began working for IBM; after 20 years, he opened his own men's store from 1977 to 1982 in downtown Sherman.  Upon closing the men's store, he opened his own insurance company.  He and Norma owned and operated Hejny Insurance Co. for 25 years on Sunset Blvd. in Sherman, where his grandson, Moses, still runs the business today.  Jerry always had a zeal for wildlife and his favorite hobby endured over 26 years as a Taxidermist.  Jerry loved the Lord and was a member of Victory Life Church.
Along with his faith and love of Christ, his family gave him the most joy.  He was a loving, faithful husband to his wife of 66 years; devoted father to his children - son, Paul Hejny, of Dorchester, Texas; daughter, Deaun Overstreet and husband, Jeff, of Dorchester; proud grandfather to Moses Hejny and wife, Lisa; Amanda Anderson and husband, Larry; Duston Overstreet; Tyler Overstreet and wife, Shelbie; Katelyn Overstreet Holland and husband, E.J.; great-grandchildren, Emily, Oliva, Shannon and Alex; sisters, Joyce Huff; Rosa Shelton and husband, Randy, all of Dorchester.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Graveside services were held Sunday afternoon, May 19, 2019 at Akers Cemetery with Pastor Terry Brown from Victory Life officiating.  Arrangements were under the direction of Fisher Funeral Home in Denison.
