Jerry Wayne Boutte
Jerry Wayne Boutte, 70 years old, of Talkeetna, Alaska died June 4, 2025 at Providence Hospital in Anchorage. He was born Aug. 21, 1954 in Corpus Christi, Texas and was the son of Frank and Joan Boutte. The family moved to Louisiana in 1961 and he spent his formative years in Southwest Louisiana. After graduating from Sulphur High School and trying college, but not finding it to his liking, he went to work in the local ship yard. Ready for something new and wanting some cooler weather he followed his brother Doug to the Alaska North Slope oil fields as a pipefitter later mostly working as a supervisor. There he worked the rest of his adult career at numerous shorter term construction type jobs associated with the oil fields. While working there as a pipefitter he met a welder by the name of Beth Pike, whom he spent the rest of his life with. They being the adventurous type bought some agricultural land north of Talkeetna locally called off grid (not having road access or any utilities). They built a nice log home and numerous outbuildings from the logs on the land with the help of a sawmill, track loader and other equipment. At the time of his death he was still living at the 'homestead'. While exploring up high near Lane Peak he fell in love with the area and bought a piece of land and over numerous years hauled up enough material to build a hunting cabin with out buildings hoping to bag himself a few caribou. Jerry's favorite sport was hunting so they had quite a few very nice camping trips in search of caribou or moose mostly on the Denali Highway between Cantrell and Paxson with Tangle Lakes being an all time favorite. Jerry and his brother, Doug, made several nice trips to Izembek National Wildlife Refuge to hunt birds and fish. Jerry was a very smart and competent man who could build or fix most anything, a good trait for someone living on a remote homestead in Alaska. Some of his other favorite things to do were snow-machining, fishing, cross country skiing, biking, photography, banjo, calligraphy, listening to music and tent camping remotely. They had no children other than their various pets, numerous dogs and two orphan beavers who became house beavers. They found the beavers to be very loving animals if they feel you are part of their clan. Their house was constantly strewn with various dams made out of whatever was available. The end of his life saw him the parent of a very special Brittany Spaniel named Maggie, who kept them entertained with her antics and she was affectionately called his 'Candy Striper' after his stroke because every night Maggie would go into his room to take overnight duty. Survivors include his brother, Doug Boutte (Claire); nieces, Kimberly, Angela and Sarah, and nephew, Joshua,12 grandnieces and grandnephews and his life partner, Beth Pike (plus dogs, Maggie and Scooter). A family and close friends Memorial service is planned at the homestead in July.

3 new to Prime Video movies with 90% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes
We're somehow in June already, and Prime Video is rolling out another batch of movie titles to sink your teeth into. As always, the streaming service's library is packed with a mix of classics, recent hits and a few hidden gems. But if you're someone who likes to let the critics do some of the legwork, it's worth narrowing your search by looking at what's earned top marks. While there's no shortage of well-reviewed movies in this month's lineup, only a handful actually crossed that elusive 90% threshold on Rotten Tomatoes — a mark that signals near-universal praise and a strong bet for your next movie night. The three picks below all cleared that bar and are now available to stream. Here are the most critically acclaimed new additions to Prime Video in June 2025. We're starting off with an absolute classic. '12 Angry Men' is a courtroom drama about a jury deliberating the fate of a teenage boy accused of murdering his father. The entire movie takes place almost entirely in one room, where 12 jurors must come to a unanimous verdict. At first, nearly all of them are convinced the boy is guilty. But one juror (Henry Fonda) has doubts and refuses to convict without discussing the evidence more thoroughly. As tensions rise and personalities clash, the jurors are forced to confront their own biases, assumptions, and the concept of reasonable doubt. It's a gripping, dialogue-driven movie about justice and the importance of standing up for what's right, even when you're the only one doing it. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Rotten Tomatoes score: 100%Stream it on Prime Video now 'Moneyball' is based on the true story of Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A's baseball team, and his revolutionary approach to building a competitive team on a limited budget. Faced with losing his star players and unable to afford big-name replacements, Beane (Brad Pitt) teams up with a young Yale economics graduate, Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), to challenge traditional scouting methods. They use data-driven analysis known as sabermetrics to identify undervalued players who can still deliver results. The movie isn't just about baseball but about challenging the status quo and finding value where others don't. 'Moneyball' is as much about heart and strategy as it is about the game itself. Rotten Tomatoes score: 94%Stream it on Prime Video now 'Some Like It Hot' is a classic screwball comedy about two down-on-their-luck musicians who witness a mob hit and go on the run by disguising themselves as women and joining an all-female band. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon play Joe and Jerry, who become 'Josephine' and 'Daphne' to hide from the gangsters chasing them. On the road with the band, they meet the charming and naive Sugar Kane (played by Marilyn Monroe), a ukulele player with a troubled romantic past. Complications ensue as Joe falls for Sugar while pretending to be a woman, and Jerry unexpectedly finds himself being courted by a wealthy older man. 'Some Like It Hot' is actually widely regarded as one of the greatest comedies of all time. Rotten Tomatoes score: 95%Stream it on Prime Video now

She Thought Her Childhood Home Was Gone Forever. Then She Bought It Back and Gave Her Family the Best Surprise (Exclusive)
Jenaca was raised in the home her god-grandfather Jerry built in the 1970s, which he cared for with his wife, Pat After the house was sold following their deaths, Jenaca thought it was gone forever — until she found it on Zillow and bought it back Her emotional surprise for her grandmother, who introduced her to Jerry and Pat, has since gone viral on TikTokWhen Jenaca pulled up to a house with her grandmother in the passenger seat and asked her to close her eyes, she was keeping the kind of secret that changes everything. In a now-viral TikTok, Jenaca paints the picture of her buying back the house her family grew up in. The popular clip reads: 'Surprising my grandma with our new house but it's actually the one I grew up in.' Jenaca grew up in the house, raised from infancy by her god-grandparents, Pat and Jerry, who were introduced to her parents by her grandmother, Connie. 'They started watching me from as soon as my mom went back off of maternity leave — I was 12 weeks old,' she exclusively shares with PEOPLE. The connection between her family and Pat and Jerry went far beyond friendship. 'I would never say they were anything other than my grandparents,' she says. Jerry built the house in the 1970s and lived there with wife Pat until they died, Pat in 2016 and Jerry in 2022. 'They did not ever live anywhere else,' Jenaca says. 'I grew up in that house from literally when I was born until she passed.' After Jerry's death, the house was sold due to probate court, something Jenaca and her family had no control over. 'We were all heartbroken,' she says. 'Your whole life you hope for something and then it's just taken away.' Then earlier this year, everything changed. 'We had just come back from looking at an apartment because our lease is up, and I saw the Zillow listing go up for their house,' she remembers. She immediately panicked, afraid it would slip through her fingers again. 'I called the realtor and he didn't answer, and I just started crying because I was like, I'm not going to get it,' she says. Determined not to lose it again, she searched online and found the agent's personal cell number. 'I called him and he got us out there, and I cried in the driveway, I cried touring the house,' she remembers. Inside the backyard shed, she found her childhood toy car still sitting there. 'I just started bawling,' she says. When she told the realtor her story, everything shifted. 'He was like, I'm not even going to put the sign up. It's yours. We're done.' From there, she kept the secret close, revealing the news to one person at a time — first her dad, then her mom. 'I showed them a picture of the car in the shed and asked if they recognized it,' she recalls. 'Then I told them, I got the house.' The last person she told was her grandmother Connie. 'I wanted to make sure everything was through before I took her out there,' Jenaca says. She invited her grandma for what she said was breakfast, with her dad along for the ride. 'I said we're going to take a detour,' she recalls. 'Then I told her to close her eyes.' As they pulled up to the house, Jenaca's heart was racing. 'I was nervous and excited. I just really wanted that big reveal for her,' she says. When her grandmother opened her eyes and saw the house, she was overwhelmed. 'She was speechless,' Jenaca says. 'And then tears just started flowing.' The home meant something deeply personal to her grandmother, too. She had known Pat and Jerry since before Jenaca was born. 'She's basically grown up in that house too, through her adult years,' Jenaca shares. In the TikTok video, her grandmother's voice is full of emotion as she says, 'Pat and Jerry would love this.' For Jenaca, it was the exact reaction she hoped for. 'I feel like we all just had this sense of peace,' she says. 'It was like … it's back, you did it, it's done.' Now, every visit feels like a quiet reunion. 'Every time we go over there and every time we talk about it, we just can't believe it,' she says. She hasn't moved in just yet, but plans to do so this summer. 'We had the carpets cleaned and we're going to start moving everything in mid-June,' she shares. The memories inside the house are countless. 'Every single night, I'd sit at my little desk while my granny played Pogo and I'd play Webkinz next to her,' she says. 'Then we'd watch Law & Order: SVU when it first came out.' There were birthday parties, holidays and everyday traditions. 'Every Christmas, every Easter, every Thanksgiving — I have so many photos of every single person in my family in that house,' she says. The emotional impact of returning as the homeowner has been profound. 'I feel home … that's the best way I can describe it,' she says. Even in a flipped and renovated space, Pat and Jerry's presence is still there. 'I was cleaning the cabinets the other day and found her wallpaper underneath,' Jenaca shares. 'It makes my heart hurt, but I feel like I'm healing.' That healing is something her whole family shares. 'It's been comforting for all of us,' she says. 'We're finally at peace.' She plans to keep traditions alive and make the house a gathering place once more. 'We used to have a shelter house in the back, and my family's already telling me I need to rebuild it,' she laughs. They've kept the original fireplace too, which is a detail Jenaca treasures. 'We have so many pictures of family in front of that fireplace,' she says. 'I want to keep doing that every Christmas, every Easter, every Thanksgiving — and one day, hopefully, with my own kids.' The response to the TikTok has been overwhelming in the best way. 'It's scary to post something so personal online, but everyone has been so happy for me,' she says. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. What she's loved most is hearing from people who share similar dreams. 'I get messages from people saying, 'I hope I can get my childhood home someday,' and I just tell them, don't give up,' she says. Now that she's home again, the emotions are still hard to describe. 'Sometimes I'm walking through the house and it's like I expect my granny or grandpa to be there,' she says of Pat and Jerry. 'It's weird, but it's comforting at the same time.' 'Surreal' is the word she keeps coming back to. 'I don't even have an appropriate emotion for it,' Jenaca says. But one thing is certain — she's right where she's meant to be. 'This house is more than just a building,' she notes. 'It's a piece of my heart.' Read the original article on People
