Jerry loved the outdoors, fishing, hiking, swimming and camping, which he enjoyed the most. He was a diehard Raiders fan and had love for everyone that he came across. Jerry always had a helping hand even if it was out of his way, he never turned anyone away. When they needed him, you could always count on Jerry to be there. We will never forget his smile, jokes, pranks, his warm welcoming heart, his love for dancing, and his love for his grandma. He always brought joy to everyone he was around or had a way to make you smile. Jerry also loved music and cooking. His favorite food to cook was his wings and stews. "Jerry, just know you will always be loved and never forgotten."
