He is also survived by 8 beautiful grandchildren who were the apple of his eye.

Jerry was a welder for many years and enjoyed working for Farm Service in Pocahontas. His accomplishments and success at Mill Creek Gardens brought so much joy and pride to him, Amy, and so many people in the community. Jerry could truly do and fix anything, and was known as MacGyver by those close to him. He loved to fish, and after spending his youth fishing the Eleven Point River, Jerry found a passion for saltwater fishing in his retirement.

He has found great joy in surf fishing in Florida every chance he got, really though, anywhere at anytime. He loved to tinker in his shop and was a diehard Chevy man. He was blessed with so many friends and was truly a man of dignity and integrity.

A Celebration of Life was held at Mill Creek Gardens, 3150 Hwy 62 West in Pocahontas, Arkansas on Sunday, April 10th at 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please take your kids and grandkids fishing.
