Born in Houston, Texas, on December 14, 1965, he was the son of Willard Griggs and Theah Bean (Davidson).

He took great pride in his contributions to the Sheet Metal industry and being a part of Local Union #54. Jerry cherished nothing more than spending time with his grandkids and going out to share a meal and laughs with loved ones. His compassion extended beyond humans; Jerry was known for having a soft spot for animals in need. Often taking in stray animals and giving them a loving home. Jerry leaves behind cherished memories that will forever be etched in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him. Roll Tide!

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Jerry. He was a big part of my high school experience. He would either tell you a joke or say something flippant. (all in good fun) Many memories have stayed with me over the years. My sincere condolences to his entire family, but especially his wife, Brenda, and his brother, Joe. May God bless and comfort you during this time of grief.
