He is preceded in death by his parents and sister and brother-in-law Gwen and Bud McCaulley. Jerry was a navy reserve veteran and had a long career with IBM as an electrical engineer. He was able to retire early and enjoy living at Lake Stryker with his wife Nancy for many years before moving to Nacogdoches in 2019. He loved his family, playing board games, his Dallas Cowboys, and gardening. He was a loving family man with a crazy sense of humor always keeping everyone laughing and feeling loved. He will be greatly missed. A private family gathering will be held.
