Jerry was born April 22, 1921, in Reed, Okla. He was a man who embraced humility. He truly believed and treated everything in life as a blessing, a gift from God, to a man who didn't deserve anything. Jerry was a humble man of God who loved his family and friends. We want to give a special thank you to his extended family at Town Hall Estates in Arlington where he resided for over four years.
