He also served as a coach for youth football and soccer, investing in the lives of many children in the community. His presence in the stands was cherished by his family. Jerry also loved the outdoors and the simple joys of life. One of his favorite pastimes was spending time at the local lakes, especially Silver Lake, where he enjoyed hiking, fishing, and taking in the beautiful scenery with his wife, Becky. He was a lifelong fan of the San Francisco Giants and 49ers. He attended the 2014 World Series in San Francisco and the 2020 Super Bowl in Miami.

Jerry's legacy will live on in the family he loved so dearly, the work he built with his wife and his own hands, and the countless lives he touched with his kindness, laughter, and steadfast faith.
