Jerry "Big Daddy" Metcalf
6/21/1953 - 5/9/2020

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!
