Jerry Metcalf Sr. age 66, of Lake Jackson, Texas passed away on May 9th, 2020. Jerry, also known as, "Big Daddy," was born June 21st, 1953, in Gilmer, TX and moved shortly after to Thibodaux, LA. He spent most of his youth there, fishing and growing up in the swamps, as he loved to call it. When he was about 15 years old, his family moved back to Freeport, TX, where he graduated from Brazosport High School in 1971. Jerry was well known throughout the community for his years working for Weingarten Grocery Store, as well as being the Field Sales Manager of Champion Beers, and his time working at Wholesale Electric Supply. Jerry spent almost all of his free time playing softball around Texas with many people from high school and around Brazoria County. If you didn't find him on a softball field, he was sure to be saltwater fishing or hunting all over the state. He was a member of the Freeport Jaycees for many years during the late 80's and early 90's. He forever remembered and enjoyed his times helping with the Fishing Fiesta and being out in the community, he loved so much. Everyone that knew Jerry, knew that his main goal was to make everyone smile. Whether it was telling funny stories, making up goofy words, or pulling jokes on everyone, he was sure to leave his mark!

Jerry was preceded in death by his parents Sim A. and Jessie Mae Metcalf, and his brother Sim A. Metcalf Jr.

He is survived by his children Lindsey and Sean Simmons, Jerry Jr. and Katie Metcalf, Justin Metcalf, and Harley and Nathan Wilson. His Grandchildren include Kristofer, Taylor, Travis, Kenzi, and Bryce Simmons. Avery, Paige, and Dylan Metcalf. Oliver and Freya Wilson.

Pallbearers include, Terry Jeffers, Wesley Wilson, John Harlen, Tobey Simmons, Tim Lindsey, and Sean Simmons.

Honorary Pallbearers include his longtime softball friends and neighbors Mickey Lester, Tim Vern, Mike Waguespack, Joey Goens, and Allen Rogers.

Funeral Services will be held at Lakewood Funeral Chapel on Thursday, May 14th, 2020. Due to the current restrictions, the services will be for family only.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be sent to the Pancreatic Cancer Society in Honor of Jerry Metcalf Sr. to further help research at pancan.org/donate.

Dear Jerry I wish so much that I could be there. I love you so much. Pray for your family I know the loss that they are going to have without you and your humor. Life is interesting sometimes and I have always loved you dearly as my brother. No one could ask for a better friend, brother. I am so proud of you and your super wonderful family. I know you were happy now without all the pain and you were there with so many of your loved ones. We will all see you soon but in the meantime we miss you. But we all have such wonderful memories, this will be our comfort With you being Gone. I'm going to pretend that you're hunting or fishing with something great that you enjoy doing. We have a special bond and I love you for it.

I am sadden to hear about Jerry's passing. Jerry and I go back to high school days. Some of my best memories of us was when we were playing tackle football on some field in Jones Creek and being his teammate on many softball teams together for many years. He always lightened up the room with his great personality and he never meet a stranger. Our condolences go out to all the family and friends, we are all hurting in our own way. Jerry touched a lot of people in his life and I'm sure all would love to attend the service to comfort the family and friends but we understand the limitations. I pray that this message conveys our Love for Jerry and his family. I will cherish my great memories of our time together.

It was an honor and such a pleasure I got to know him. His daughter and I were best friends for some time when we were younger. Her family was like mine. He was always making jokes, making us laugh, and there was never a dull moment around. Truly he will be missed. Blessings to the family with all my love and support.
