Jerry Dancey died June 1, 2022, in Naples, Florida. In 1976 Jerry and his lifelong friend and partner, Robert Weir, purchased Maryland Electric, a small residential Company, located on Maryland Street in Detroit, Michigan. Maryland Electric expanded throughout the years to service a wide range of customers on a variety of projects including commercial and retail construction, industrial facilities, data centers, universities, hospitals, and more. Maryland Electric had two offices in Michigan, Clinton Township and Midland, as well as one in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1978, Maryland Electric joined the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) where Jerry was an active member within the Southeastern Michigan Chapter. Jerry proudly served on their Board of Directors for 37 years. He represented the chapter nationally by serving as the Chapter Governor. Jerry served on various committees, trusts and boards within the electrical industry including the State Electrical Administrative Board, appointed by then Governor James Blanchard. Jerry enjoyed deer hunting and fishing and placed first in many competitive fishing tournaments. He loved his Michigan State Spartans (Go Green, Go White) and was a loyal Detroit Lion’s supporter to the bitter end of each season.
