He is preceded in death by his parents: Billy and Jean Gardner, sister, Regina Gardner, and his brother Darrell Gardner.

Jerry was a loving son, brother and uncle. He loved classic cars, big band music and animals most of all. He is forever freed from the evils of the world, and will be forever in our hearts, and we take comfort in knowing that he is now walking the streets of Gold.
Pallbearers will be: Chandler McDougal, Riley Henson, Larry Cooley, Keith Hendrix Larry Green and Houston Hodo.
