Born on October 16, 1946, in Fort Worth, Texas, Jerry was the second of three children in his family. He grew up in Grand Prairie, where he attended Grand Prairie High School. As a proud Grand Prairie Gopher,he made a name for himself as an exceptional running back and track star earning high honors and a reputation that would stay with him throughout his life. After graduating High School, Jerry attended Cameron College in Oklahoma on a football scholarship. He was employed with Dallas Police Department from 1968-76 working in patrol and later transferring to the motorcycle unit in the department's traffic division.

His leadership and business acumen were respected in the industry by his peers, and he took great pride in the legacy he created. Jerry was not only a passionate businessman but also a spirited member of the Woodcrest Country Club in Grand Prairie TX. His golf friends nicknamed him "Smiley" as his golf game rarely produced a smile even though his handicap was in the single digits. As an active member of several Bass Clubs, Jerry enjoyed the thrill of fishing for large-mouth bass all over the State of Texas, especially in the serene lakes of East Texas. Jerry's love for High School Football never diminished. He enjoyed attending the Texas High School football playoffs every year for decades with family and friends. From the old Texas Stadium which he loved dearly, to the new ATT Stadium that he never liked, he would always bring his hot chocolate Thermos and 10X Binoculars where he witnessed many great football games and future NFL players. These pastimes reflected his love for the outdoors and the joy he found in sharing these moments with family and friends.
