Jerry Williamson died in his Sequim home of a brain tumor at age 55.

He was born in Bremerton to Dorothy Bobbitt and raised by Donald and Anne Mercer.

After growing up in Kitsap County, he served on active duty with the Marine Corps from 1966 to 1969, including a Vietnam tour from October 1967 to November 1968.

In 1970, he moved to Bellingham, where he earned a bachelor of arts degree in ethnic studies from Western Washington University.

While in Bremerton, Mr. Williamson worked as a firefighter and paramedic, commitments he repeated in 1978 at St. Louis and in 1979 at Denver.

From 1980 through 1982, he attended the physician assistant program at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, then pursued a career in medicine at LaConner for one year.

He then moved to Salt Lake City in 1983 so his wife, the former Lyell Fox, whom he married in Bow on May 8, 1983, could attend midwifery school.

Returning to Washington state, the Williamsons worked for the Quileute tribe in LaPush, then in family practice and emergency medicine in Forks.

He moved to Sequim in 1990 and worked as a physician assistant at CliniCare at Port Angeles, then in orthopedic surgery and emergency medicine.

He enjoyed mountain bike riding and sailing his boat, The Jolly Mon.

Mr. Williamson is survived by his wife; son and daughter-in-law Isaac and Michele Williamson of Seattle; daughters Keri Williamson of Tacoma and Hailey and Anna Fox, both of Sequim; daughter and son-in-law Kacie and Brian Horton of Ocean Shores; mother of Keyport; sisters Joanne Sexton, Rowan Hage, Anne Huddleson, Marilyn Boyce and Carolyn Tuttle; and seven grandchildren.
