Jerry was born in Edmore, MI on December 12, 1952, the son of Donal Edward and Lucille Beatrice (Gerulski) Davis. He attended Shepherd Public Schools. Jerry worked for B&W Co-op (MAC) for over 30 years.

On August 3, 1973, Jerry married Margie Kathryn O'Brien at Alma United Methodist Church. Their marriage was blessed with 4 daughters, 9 grandchildren and 1 great grandson.

Jerry was a family man. While his family was young, Jerry loved to take them fishing and camping. In his later years, he enjoyed trips to the casino, watching his favorite TV shows and spending time with Margie "Davy Jo" and his fur babies. Jerry always had a smile for everyone he met and a laugh you will never forget. Jerry would often say "that was funny, but it was comical." He was a generous man and would help anyone in need.

Jerry is survived by his wife Margie, and 4 daughters: Gerri Lynn "Sis" (Tony) Miller of Elwell; Olivia "Libby" Davis of Freeland; Jamie (Robb) Mikek of St. Louis; and Loretta "Redda" (Gary Ferman) Davis of St. Louis.
