Jerrod was born October 7, 1977 at Scottsbluff, Nebraska to Scott and Cathy (Dittenber) Livengood. He attended Child Development Center and ESU 13 until he received a tracheotomy and feeding tube which required him to be at home with his mom and dogs full-time.
The family joined Zion Evangelical Church in 2003 and Jerrod’s non-verbal affirmation of faith was an inspiration to those in attendance. He loved interacting with his church family and enjoyed attending services, especially the music. Jerrod was a true Gift from God: he woke up with a smile every morning and went to bed with a smile every night. He was a vessel for God; he proved faith didn’t have to be spoken, only shown.
Jerrod is survived by his mother Cathy Livengood; sister and brother-in-law: Marci and J.J. Meyer; nephew Jake Meyer; paternal grandmother Nina Jackson; aunt and uncle: Debbie and Larry Steinbrecher; uncle and aunt: Terry and Pat Livengood; cousins: Amy (Jeremy) Gittlein, Lori (John) Mcarthur, Beth (Brian) Mullen, Stacie (Luke) Ward, and Brenda (Shane) Hess; special cousin Trisha (Ryan) Foote; his canine companions: Chase, Reece, and Dexter; and three great aunts.
Jerrod was preceded in death by his dad; maternal grandparents: Rhine and Leah Dittenber; and paternal grandfathers: Earl Livengood and James R. Jackson.
