This was written by Jim that was with him that day... "Everything went wrong that could possibly go wrong that morning. Jerry & I went out to investigate, Jerry and I Walked into an ambush. Jerry and I didn't stand a chance. You were almost ready to go home in a few days. You were a short timer with less than a week. You didn't even have to go out to investigate. You could have stayed in the perimeter. UN-lucky Fate"

Jerry was survived by a sister.
