KHIST pays tribute to Chairman Jerry Bartlett

Everyone at KHIST is deeply saddened by the loss of our Chairman, Jerry Bartlett. His passion for Kidderminster Harriers and commitment to the Trust will be remembered with heartfelt gratitude by all who had the privilege of working alongside him.

Jerry’s dedication to the Harriers went hand in hand with his tireless work for KHIST. Those who worked with him saw first hand the positive impact of his efforts and the difference his commitment made to the Trust. His guidance, determination and belief in supporter involvement helped KHIST to strengthen its role within the club and the wider community.

Beyond football, Jerry made a lasting contribution through his work as a teacher at Harry Cheshire School, now Baxter College, in Kidderminster. He influenced and inspired generations of young people through his encouragement, support and dedication to their development, leaving a positive mark on many lives.

Jerry was a man of broad interests and strong values. A keen fisherman and a strong interest in Politics. Whilst he held firm political views, he always respected the opinions of others and valued open discussion. One of his greatest qualities was his willingness to listen. Jerry always made time for people and treated every viewpoint with respect.

His contribution is something we will continue to value as we carry that work forward. The example he set through his leadership, generosity and commitment to others will not be forgotten.

Jerry will be greatly missed by everyone at KHIST. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his family, friends and all those mourning his loss. We remember him with affection, appreciation and gratitude, and thank him for everything he gave to the Trust, the club he loved and the community he loved.

Rest in Peace, Jerry.
