Jerry was a resident of Keithville and graduated from Fairview Alpha in the early 70’s before he moved to Shreveport and met the love of his life, Charlynn Jordan, and began his construction career.

After retiring, he spent many days tinkering from selling watermelons, firewood and doing small engine repair. Family was everything to Jerry. He loved his children, grandchildren and great-grandson.

He will be greatly missed by his family and by everyone that had the pleasure of knowing him.
