He was an Army Veteran, truck driver and most recently a machinist at American Gypsum. He loved spending time at the lake, fishing, camping, gardening, tinkering on everything and going to Wal-Mart to visit. He was a wonderful husband, dad and papa. If you knew him, you'd knew he loved to scare people and pull pranks. Jerry never met a stranger and would do anything for anyone.

The memorial will be in Gould Oklahoma at the Community Building at 1:00pm on March 25, 2023. The family would like for stories or memories to be written down so we can have them for later to read. We are also asking for you to wear blue to the memorial since it was his favorite color.
