Jerre was a lifelong Carpenter. His craftsmanship, regardless of the skill involved, reflected real caring, and that reflected his attitude about himself, about life, and the love he had for for his family.
Everyone that knew Jerre, knew what a big fan he was of Alabama Football, and how he enjoyed having a house full of friends and family over to watch the games. If he wasn't watching football, you could always count on him watching an old Western movie he had seen over and over.
In addition to his children and grandchildren, he is survived by his 2 sisters, Pat Leahey and Marie Humphries, along with many friends that are like family.
Jerre was greeted in Heaven by his wife, Bobbie Humphries; son, Gerald Humphries; daughter, Lesa Donaldson; and brother Stevie Blair.
