Jerry West grew up and graduated from his hometown of Mountain View, Missouri. Jerry was a truck driver for many years for Baird and Sons/Corporate Express until he retired in 2004. Jerry loved every day he had with his children, grandchildren and his loved ones. You would know he was close just by hearing his laugh! If only to hear one more time.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his children’s mother Lydia, and 11 brothers and sisters.
