Jerry  was  born  in  Ames,  Iowa  on  Feburary  02,1957.  He  had  a  twin  named  Daryl.  He  married  Tracy  Kathleen  Russell  on  May  08,1989.  Jerry  loved  Tracy  and  life  itself.  But,  he  was    stubborn  at  times.  He and  Daryl  were  both  born  with  epilepsy  but  Jerry  had  it  worse  than  Daryl.  He  really  did    not  like  taking  his  meds.  On  June 28,1993  him,  Tracy  and some  friends  went  swimming  at  Peterson's  Pit  and  I  was  told  Jerry  hadn't  taken  his  meds that  day  and  that  a  lot  of  them  had  been  drinking so  nobody was  paying  any  attention  to  anything  but  drinking  and  talking.  Jerry  went  in  the  water to  go  swimming, nobody  was  watching  what  anyone  else  was  doing  then,  all  of  a  sudden  they  heard  Jerry  having  a  seizure  in  the  water  but,  nobody  could  go  and  save  him  cause  he  went  down  in  the  pit. If anyone  else  had  gone  in  to  save  him  they  would  have  gone  into  the  pit  and  died  to.
