Known to most as “Captain Jerry,” he was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on December 1, 1942 to Calvin and Marion. He graduated from Fortier Senior High School in 1960, and then earned a degree in Economics from Southeastern Louisiana University in 1964. After moving to Houston, Jerry ventured into various business endeavors and became quite the skilled businessman and entrepreneur for the next decades.

In his spare time, he frequently flew his plane to Port Isabel/South Padre Island where he enjoyed fishing in Laguna Madre and subsequently obtained his US Coast Guard Captain’s License. There, he made his first attempt to retire but was soon back in business in Houston using his expertise to start and grow yet another successful business. Jerry later retired again and moved to Argyle, Texas where he enjoyed the rolling hills, beautiful trees, and abundant wildlife.

Memorial services are scheduled for Saturday, April 13th at 2:00 p.m. at Flower Mound Family Funeral Home located at 3550 Firewheel Dr. in Flower Mound, Texas. A second Celebration of Life will be held on April 15th at 10:00 a.m. at Sagemont Church Chapel located at 11300 S. Sam Houston Pkwy E. in Houston, Texas.
