Jerry was born September 9, 1955 and grew up in Houston, Texas.  Jerry also served his country in the Air National Guard.  He was employed for over 26 years by Reliance Construction Services.

Jerry loved to ride horses and was quite the cowboy. He had many life-long friends that he went on many trailrides with and his love of riding is how he became fondly known by his nickname of "Rawhide".  Jerry also enjoyed riding motorcycles and later spent his free time on the week-ends riding his motorcycle with friends or by himself enjoying the countryside and making new memories and friends along the way.  He loved country music, fishing and watching his Cowboys football team with friends at the Windmill.

There will be a celebration of life by his loving family and friends on January 27, 2024 at the Windmill Ice House, 8100 Almeda Genoa Road, Houston, Texas 77075, 1-4 p.m.  Friends and family are welcome to bring pictures of past memories and good times to share.
