Gerald Edward Maas

Gerald Edward Maas was born on 11/26/1948 in Duluthe Minnesota to Mildred & Edward Maas. He moved to Omaha as a young child with his family, and graduated from Westside High School. A few years later, he met his bride-to-be, Jane Stiles, who happened to live next door. Jerry & Jane were married two years later in 1970. Jerry attended University of Nebraska at Omaha for a year, then attended a computer programming school from which he was recruited by the FBI to work on computers in Washington DC. While in Washington he learned some essential skills such as laundry (after shrinking all his wool suits and turning his underwear pink). Jerry was drafted into the army and served his country in Vietnam. Jerry finished his college degree at UNO on the GI bill. During this time their first-born son Eric and daughter Jill had been born. While attending UNO, his sister requested that Jerry DJ'd her wedding and then others asked him to do the same for them and hence Complete Music was born. In 1974 Jerry & Jane were visiting their sister and brother-in-law in Ohio who recently were converted to Christianity. Jerry & Jane knew from letters they received from their sister and brother-in-law that they were going to be receiving a lot of God talk. So, they made a pact that in order to avoid the conversations they would each change the subject. When they arrived in Ohio, Jerry was intently interested in his sister and brother-in-law's conversation as he witnessed a drastic change in their lives. At this time Jerry said a prayer to accept Jesus Christ as his savior. Jerry bought a Bible and couldn't put it down. Jane thought he had lost his mind and was going to leave him home to drive home.. However, in Omaha NE in 1974 was one of the worst blizzards NE had ever had, and no flights were going in and out. So, she had to stay, during those three days things became more intense with the conversations and Jane was unhappy yet finally leaving. 3 days later Jane had accepted the Lord Jesus as her savior on their way home. Then their new lives had begun. After college Jerry worked for Calgon in sales, while continuing to expand the Complete Music DJ business.. In 1978 he left Calgon to work full time on Complete Music. During this time they were blessed by three additional children: Jenni, Ben & J.J. all the while Jerry played guitar at church for praise and worship, mentored many business people, as well as led Bible studies and traveled. Jerry & Jane were married for 54 years and blessed to have 16 grandchildren who absolutely adore, respect and admire grandpa not only for his boating prowess and gregarious personality, but especially for his teaching's that in life the only person holding you back is yourself, as with Christ all things are possible. Left to remember his love and carry on his legacy are his devoted wife Jane Maas, Son Eric(Gina), Daughter Jill(John), Jennifer(Rich), Son Ben(Lindsey), J.J.(Bethany), sister Kathy(Mark), grandsons: Connor(Rachel), Peyton, Christian(Joanna), Yohannes, J.J, Nic, Nathan, Xander, Quinton, Levi, Noah & Jackson.
