June 3, 2019 in his favorite chair at home.
Born on December 3,1936 to “Spot” and “Clemie” Searcy in Ft Worth, TX, Jerry married Marilyn Hamrick of
Arp, TX and they were married 60 years. He was a devoted husband, dad, and papa who made sure his
family knew how much he loved them. A longtime member of Council Road Baptist Church, Jerry faithfully
served as a children’s Sunday School teacher and a treasured volunteer at The Cube Community Outreach
Center. He would want all his friends to know that he is home with Jesus and he loves them.
Jerry loved airplanes and all things aviation from a young age. He earned a degree in aeronautical
engineering from The University of Texas and became an avid, lifelong Longhorn fan. He was very proud of
his contribution to the design of the B747 aircraft during his tenure with the Boeing Co in Seattle, WA. Upon
leaving there, he finished his aviation career with the FAA in Oklahoma City, OK. Jerry enjoyed sailing,
traveling, shooting, history, dogs (but no cats!), teaching kids in Sunday School, volunteering at The Cube,
and spending time with his family. Preceded in death by his parents, Jerry is survived by wife, Marilyn of
Bethany, OK; daughter Kay (Paul) Heath of Oklahoma City; sons, Craig (Cheryl) Searcy of Anchorage, AK
and Darrell (Kelly) Searcy of Oklahoma City, OK; grandchildren Austin (Emily Haenny) Searcy of Brooklyn,
NY; Tyler (Heidi Weaver) Heath of Los Angeles, CA; Cory and Taylor Searcy of Oklahoma City, OK;
Cheyenne (Glen Floyd) Heath of Oklahoma City, OK; Lara and Shockley Searcy of Anchorage, AK; sister, Sally Green of Longview, TX; brother, Waldo (Sherill) Searcy of Grapevine, TX; and many special nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.
