Jerry had a great love for sports his whole life. In high school he did wrestling, football and baseball. After high school he continued to play baseball for many years and went semi pro. Jerry loved to listen to music and loved to dance. He was always ready for a good time, loved taking pictures for memories, and loved to travel and site see.
Jerry loved his family more than anything. He loved seeing his daughters. He loved hanging out with his brother Jesse everyday. He loved family gatherings even just to share a meal. Jerry was so proud of his daughters and grandkids. He loved making memories with his family. If you knew Jerry you knew he talked about them often.
Jerry had the best attitude and sense of humor. He loved to have a good time and laugh. His eyes and smile could light up a room. He loved talking with anyone and making new friends.
Jerry loved staying in touch with his friends near and far, he even stayed in touch with grade school friends. He was very active on social media and in the AC Davis highschool class of 78 group where they would share pictures and reminisce about the good ole days! He will be greatly missed by his friends and family.
Most of all Jerry had a love for Jesus our lord and savior. He was very involved in his church over the years and read his bible daily. He shared the word of god every chance he got. Jerry would always forgive and help anyone he could. He had a heart of gold.
We love you Dad and will miss you terribly. Love your Daughters
