He was preceded in death by his parents Doyle Miller and Opal Reed and his grandson Mason Werner. Jerry served in the Army during the Vietnam war. His career was spent in the petroleum industry. When he was forced to retire early Jerry didn't sit idle, he spent time learning about computers, photo editing and tying fly fishing flies.
