Jerry was preceded in death by his father Jay Pyles, and mother Lou Sindy Pyles.

Jerry was known by his carpentry profession, which was truly an awesome sight to behold. He built his home piece by piece with his own hands using manual tools, with no electricity! He also crafted many decorative art pieces of wood, stone, and various medium. His family was thrilled to receive his handmade crafts and consider them a true treasure.

Jerry also loved a good poker game and bonfire with his friends on the weekends, and attended the dogwood trails celebration every single year with his grandchildren, he was very involved in his grandchildren’s life and loved to take them camping, fishing, and teaching them some of his tips and tricks in carpentry. 

Jerry loved to read, he had a mountain of books in his home and rest assured he read every single page. He also had a green thumb and could grow just about anything, even banana trees in Texas! 

Jerry is survived by his daughter Mary Melissa Davis, his grandchildren Katelynn Davis, Skyler Davis, Natalie Lester, and his beloved dogs Ringo and Zero. He will be truly missed by his family and friends.
