Jerome E. Brazda was born November 28, 1924 in Mandan, ND ushered into this world by a midwife, which was common practice in that day. He was the only son of Rose Klein and John Brazda. He attended school in Center and after graduating, helped his father farm south of Fort Clark. Besides farming, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, horseback riding and of course, playing cards, especially Gin Rummy and Whist. Not much of a gambler, which farming was all about, but working the soil is where he felt closest to God. He was always thankful for good harvests, especially after going through the drought (dirty thirties) as a young boy. When the war came along, Jerome's father kept him home to help with the farming; a very important contribution to support our country and the troops. Jerome had a very good heart and always wanted to pay his own way in this life. In later years, he had time to think about charities, a few of his favorites were Prairie Public TV and the food pantry in Center. He was well-read and self -educated in mechanics. Jerome was grateful for his large family of cousins, whom he visited as often as he could get away from the farm. After his parents passed away, he rented the farm where he had been living alone until his health deteriorated. He later moved to the Waterford in Bismarck for several years and then transferred to the swing-bed unit in Turtle Lake.
He is survived by several extended family members and a good friend, Gerald "Stork" Nordquist of Washburn.
Jerome was preceded in death by his parents (John and Rose) along with many cousins, uncles and aunts.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Center, ND Food Pantry or Prairie Public TV.
