Jerry will be missed. Always there to help when needed and loved playing the drums on the praise team. I will miss seeing him and talking to him. Love you Jer
I didn't know home long, but he loved playing the drums and loved worshipping for the Lord. He will be missed. Jesus is probably playing the drums with Jerry.
