On March 13, 1971, he married the love of his life, Patricia Tucker Findley celebrating nearly 55 years of marriage. He worked in the Pensacola Mill of International Paper for 37 years.
Jerry committed his life to Christ and it resonated in every aspect of his life. He was a faithful husband, a loving father and “Papa”.

His love for cooking opened up doors for him, including becoming a certified BBQ judge and serving the culinary ministry at his church alongside Chef Bob. Jerry taught us all to “never pass up an opportunity to add more flavor.”
