He is survived by grandchildren, Reagan Michelle and Jeremy Wayne; numerous nieces and nephews; and son, Craig Phillips. He is also survived by his loving rescued companion, Roscoe.
Jerry was an Army Vietnam War Veteran. He had an amazing capacity for remembering numbers up to the time of his death, which he said was due to his training as a radio operator in Germany. He received the National Defense Service Medal and Sharpshooter Badge. He was a smart, sweet, kind, beautiful soul, and was dearly loved.
