Jerry was born in Greenville County on July 6, 1959 to Mary Ann Stegall Leslie of Easley and the late Guy E. Leslie. He was a proud 1978 graduate of Easley High School and during his school days, drove the school bus and received the bus driver of the year award. Jerry loved trees, and built a connection with the outdoor world and everything in it. He enjoyed his life as a farmer, and in true farmer fashion, loved his Farmall Tractors. Being the avid farmer and outdoorsman, he had a love for all animals and the color green, but was especially fond of his "fur baby", Butterscotch.
In addition to his loving wife Paula, Jerry is survived by his mother: Mary Ann Stegall Leslie of Easley.
In addition to his father, Jerry was preceded in death by two brothers: Perry and Terry Leslie; and his paternal grandmother: Addie Leslie, who was especially near and dear to him.
No formal services are being planned at this time. If services are planned at a later date, they will be announced via the Dillard Funeral Home website.
In lieu of flowers and because of Jerry's love for animals, Paula requests that memorial donations be made to the Pickens County Humane Society via their website at https://www.pchumanesociety.org.
The family is at their respective homes.
