Kerry "Jerry" William Taule

“The Sea was the Salve of his Soul”

Kerry “Jerry” William Taule, 67, of Beaufort, North Carolina, passed away Thursday, July 2, 2020, at his home surrounded by his loving family.

Of Norwegian descent, he was born in Brooklyn, New York.  Through his journey in life, he made home in New Jersey and Northern Virginia prior to his retirement to Beaufort in 2015.  A custom home builder for trade, his skills matched his character with strength and quality.  He had a kind Viking heart, was a U.S. Merchant Marine Officer, an avid boater, fisherman and lover of nature and history.

He is survived by his wife, Deborah, married 37 years; his son, Eric; two daughters, Jessica and Kate; mother, Louise;  two sisters, Wenke and Elaine; and five grandchildren, Lily, Nova, Nora, Landon and Finnley.  He  loved his family deeply, and his grandchildren were a joy to his heart.

A memorial will be planned in New Jersey at a later date.

Donations may be made to Hospice of Carteret County, P.O. Box 1619, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557.
