He was born October 29, 1950 to Severiano Guerra Jimenez and Vera Ramos Jimenez in Orange, California. He grew up in Anaheim, California and attended Valencia High School in Placentia, California.

In February of 1984, he and the love of his life, his wife Cathy moved to Preston, Idaho.

His love of woodworking would become his lifelong career in the cabinetry field. He had a love for the outdoors hunting, fishing, camping or just taking a drive in the mountains.

Jerry had more friends than you could count, not just in Franklin County but anywhere he traveled. He could brighten your day just by having a simple conversation with you. He was always willing to help in any way he could no matter if you were a lifelong friend or someone he just met.

In his retirement years, he enjoyed making dreamcatchers and scratching lottery tickets.
