Ivan Jaeger of Henderson, passed away August 23, 2022. Born in Cincinnati, to parents Eva and Benjamin Jaeger, who preceded him in death. Ivan was a veteran of the Korean War. Ivan took his family out West in 1961, bringing with him casino experience picked up in gambling halls in Kentucky. He had worked at some of Old Las Vegas’ most recognizable establishments including the Dunes, Desert Inn, Sahara, Flamingo, and Tropicana. In his free time, Ivan was an accomplished woodworker, history buff, and artist. He was very creative and detail-oriented, producing furniture, solutions, and beautiful paintings just at the simple suggestion of his family. His pieces will be treasured for years to come. Family life was the most important to Ivan. Ivan married his wife Bernice in 1955. Together, they raised daughters Ginger, Jackie, and Judi.

brother Morris, sister Carolyn, granddaughters Rebecca and Eva, greatgranddaughters Gwendolyn, Aurora, and Penelope, and countless other relatives who meant a great deal to him. Services for Ivan Jaeger will be held on what
