Jerry married the love of his life, Cynthia Mayes, on November 26, 1965, in Dallas, Texas. Their marriage of more than 60 years was a testament to devotion, partnership, and family.

He earned a degree in Banking and Finance from North Texas State University, laying the foundation for a career defined by dedication and perseverance.
