Jerry was born on February 22, 1956, in Bryan, Texas, to Jerry and Alvis Cramer.  He grew up in Odessa, Texas, and graduated from Coronado High School in Lubbock.

He was an exceptional athlete and played all sports, but football was his true love.  He received his Bachelor’s degree from Oklahoma State University where he was a strong safety on the football team that won two bowl games and shared the 1976 Big 8 championship.

Working for 30 years at MillerCoors Brewing, he promoted through positions of increasing responsibility to Production Services Manager, retiring in 2011.

Jerry loved God and his family.  He was actively involved in his children’s sports teams and served on the Burleson ISD School Board.  He enjoyed fishing, traveling across the country for his children or other adventures, and college football.

Setting a lasting example of toughness, work ethic and dedication, the greatest gifts he selflessly gave to his family and many friends were his sense of humor, loyalty and support, and unconditional love.
