He Graduated from Borah High school in 1973 and then went on to Boise State University, studying mathematics.

He was a devoted husband and father. He was a brilliant man, who pondered the stars and enjoyed the exquisiteness of Gods universe. Jerry was extremely creative and had an adventurous soul. His favorite places to be were alongside his family and friends, including his church family. He loved the mountains and that is where he chose to design and build his cabin in High Valley ID. His faith in God was his backbone and his vigor. He thoroughly understood what it meant to have a binding relationship with his Savior. Jerry loved worshiping and serving the Lord, which lead to numerous years of involvement in choirs, worship and praise teams, and helping the church body.
