I worked with Jerry a couple years ago when I worked at UpS. Very sweet and fun to be around. He made work fun with his singing and dancing. Gone to soon and you didn't deserve to go this way. You messed Memphis up with this one. Rest in Love Jerry

Jerry was an inspiration to all to be yourself no matter who is around. He could light one of the darkest hallways and would still give someone the credit. Your joy and laughs will be missed forever. We love you Jerry to the moon and back

Jerry and I attended the same church. He was the nicest most gentle person. He was always positive and had a smile that could brighten your day! He will be surely missed! R.I.L.

Jerry was a fan of Michael Jackson when we were teenagers. And would give the coat off his back.
