Jerry Foust was born along with his twin brother on February 20, 1957 in Alamance County, North Carolina to William Bill Foust and Sarah Frances Robinson Foust. Following an extended period of illness, he departed this earthly life on September 27, 2025.
He attended the Alamance County School System and was a graduate of Eastern Alamance High School. He was a member of Melfield United Church of Christ for several years. "Twin" as he was more commonly known, was a devoted employee of North Graham Middle School. He ensured that the school was a clean and safe environment for the many students for over 30 years.
"Twin" was a many of many talents. He enjoyed lawn care owning his own lawncare service "B&F Lawncare", he was a carpet installer and worked with S&S Trim. In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing, grilling, would surprise you with a visit and was a great car detailer. He was known to always be willing to lend a helping hand.
