Jerry Charles "Chaz" Renville was born on October 13, 1937, in Sisseton, SD to David and Grace (Robertson) Renville. In his younger years, Jerry attended Old Agency Day School and Peever School. He was also a Peever Panther on the basketball team. At 16 years old, he joined the Air Force where he served his country and worked as a mechanic on jet engines from November 12, 1954, to November 30, 1958. After his service, he became a truck driver for the food distribution center in Old Agency. A while later, he began a career in construction where he did a variety of different jobs. In 1971, Jerry married Joan Renville and with this union had his children: Melody, Tamara, and Wade and stepchildren Fran, Ronald, Valerie, and Steven. He was a member of St. Mary's Church. Jerry was in a bowling league, coached softball, enjoyed playing horseshoes, and often snacked on suckers and seeds. He liked to play softball (was a good second baseman), spend time with family and friends playing pennyante and nerf, watch Old Westerns, do puzzle books, and play machines. Jerry often watched the Minnesota Vikings and Florida Seminoles and drank "Cloudies". Jerry passed away on November 16, 2025, at his home with family by his side.

Jerry is survived by his children Fran (Tommy) Kirk-Tease, Ronald Kirk, Valerie Kirk, Melody Renville, Tamara Friemel-Renville, Wade Renville, and Steven Owen; brother Harvey Renville Sr.; 20 grandchildren; 36 great-grandchildren; 2 great-great grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
