Jerry was born on August 1, 1948 to Wendall and Audrey Alexander. He graduated from Emma Sansom High School in 1966 and soon after married the love of his life, Peggy Taylor. Jerry bravely enlisted in the United States Navy and served his country in the Vietnam War, stationed on the U.S.S Paul Revere. After returning home he joined the Gadsden City Police Department, reaching the rank of Lieutenant before retiring. He then worked at the Anniston Army Depot for 20 plus years. He finished his years of service working for the City of Gadsden as security at City Hall.

Jerry’s favorite pastime were spending time with his grandchildren, fishing, and watching Alabama football. Roll Tide Baw Baw!
