It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jerry Danuser. William Jerry Danuser, 80, of Fulton, passed away Friday, November 29, 2024, at his home. Jerry was born in Fulton on December 7, 1943, the son of the late John Henry Danuser and the late Lillian Hill (Hamilton) Danuser. He was united in marriage to Janet (Burnett) Danuser on August 15, 1970. She survives his passing. A 1961 graduate of Fulton High School, Jerry left college and joined the United States Air Force. He returned to Fulton in 1968 and, following the death of his father, became the third-generation family owner of Danuser Machine Company. He was a past president of the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association and belonged to several industry and philanthropic organizations. Jerry's lifelong passion was shooting. He traveled the globe for hunting and shooting competitions and enjoyed many of his best friendships with people in those industries. In addition to his wife, Jerry will be lovingly remembered by his son, Glenn Danuser (Dawn); daughter, Janea Danuser; and grandchildren, Corbin Danuser and Raelynn Danuser, all of Fulton. Family friend, David Shene, and hospice nurse, Jennifer Vandeloecht, helped to bring him joy and entertainment this last year. In addition to his parents, Jerry was preceded in death by his brother, John LeCompte Danuser. A celebration of Jerry's life will be held in the spring. In lieu of flowers, Jerry picked two organizations he hoped family and friends would support: Green Valley Rifle & Pistol Club, 4350 E Academy Rd, Hallsville, MO 65255 and Phoenix Home Care & Hospice, Attn: Hospice, 500 Broadway St Ste A, Jefferson City, MO 65101.

The Green Valley Club's informal origins date back to the 1930's with target shooting on "Green Valley" Drive in Columbia, MO. The organization was formally incorporated in 1955 and the original Wyatt Lane shooting range was purchased that same year. The Columbia, MO area played a major role in the creation of practical shooting as a discipline. It was here that IPSC was started. The first IPSC champion, Ray Chapman, went on to establish the Chapman Academy in Hallsville. The Chapman Academy was purchased by the club in 1994. The club annually hosts the Bianchi Cup International Pistol Tournament, an action pistol event attended by top national and international shooters. Other sanctioned events include Missouri State IDPA Match, State bullseye match, Glock regional match, and Cameron Cup Action Pistol match. The club offers various other training opportunities: NRA classes, MO CCW, and visiting instructors. We have several active disciplines which hold matches several times per year. Even though there's something going on every week, many of the 300+ members simply use the facilities for their personal practice.
