Jerry Lee Crouch Obituary
Jerry Lee Crouch
September 5, 1943 - October 5, 2025
Jerry Crouch, 82, of El Paso, TX passed away on October 5, 2025. When asked who was Jerry Crouch, one may respond: "the man that would give you the shirt off his back,” "the fixer of everything,” “the man that spoke few words but loved hard,” "the man who rose from adversity to create a beautiful life for himself,” or “the modern day John Wayne.” Jerry proudly served the US Navy as an FTM2 before opening Tritek Services, a government contracting business. For over 28 years, he led many missile launchings out at White Sands Missile Range.
Jerry was preceded in death by his wife of 54-years, Marta K. Crouch. The two will continue to live out their eternal love side-by-side at Fort Bliss National Cemetery.
Jerry was also preceded in death by his mother, Rena McFarland and brother, Jackie Crouch. It brings the family comfort to know the three will be reunited with a beer in hand to celebrate.
Jerry's greatest accomplishment is the father-son bond he had with only child, Jack Crouch. Jerry left him with great moments to fill his emptiness: the many Boy Scout adventures, hiking in the Grand Canyon, backpacking in the Gila wilderness, fishing trips at Caballo Lake, arrowhead hunting in Oro Grande, or just hanging out in the garage fixin' things.
Jerry has many additional family members that will miss his presence to include his sister, Linda Edge of San Antonio, TX; his daughter-in-law, Nancy Crouch of El Paso, TX; his grandchildren Joseph, Katrina, and Matthew; and great-grandchildren Landen and Colten.
The family has elected a private burial service. In leu of flowers, the family asks that you pop a top in honor of Jerry Crouch.
