Jerry was born on October 6, 1949, in Wabash, Indiana to his mother, Lula Mae Ward. He was a Vietnam veteran in the United States Army. He worked until his passing for Rolling Hills Country Club in Cabot. He married Shelby Loftis on December 31, 1988. They were married until her passing on November 16, 2019.
