In 1969, Jerry completed high school in Beeville, Texas. After graduating, he sought work in the bustling oil fields in South Texas. After working for a number of years in the oilfield, he went into construction, beginning with metal buildings. He learned the construction trade, eventually becoming the owner of his own company for over 10 years. He retired briefly but quit retirement to return to the fast-paced world of construction. For the last 9 years, he worked as a Construction Superintendent. Jerry enjoyed the challenges of working through bad weather, slow logistics, personnel shortages and the pandemic. He never complained. His work ethic was extraordinary.
He made time for family and enjoyed grilling at family gatherings. His ribeye’s were mouth-watering masterpieces. He also made time for his other passion, bird hunting. He and his beloved brother, Charles, traveled to South Texas extensively throughout bird hunting season always looking for the right spot. His laughter was infectious. His smile was warm. His heart was loving and gracious.
He will be missed. He will always be remembered.
