Jerry was born May 19, 1936, in Visalia, Calif., to Eva Mae and John Rubert Halford. He passed away peacefully into our Heavenly father’s loving hands on April 20, 2015.

He was very involved with his children and grandchildren, coaching football and baseball at the Maverick Club. In his younger days, he enjoyed play days at Rolling Hills Riding Club, even winning the Pony Express Race in 1986.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a daughter, Deborah Halford; and a brother, Rusty Halford.
