Born on October 19, 1942, in Anderson County, SC, a son of the late Marvin Dee and Janie Lee Pearson Waldrop. Jerry's life was marked by dedication to his work and devotion to his family. Jerry was very proud of his career and left a lasting impression on many colleagues and clients. He began his professional journey at Davis Mechanical before moving on to Century Contractors, where he excelled in upper management. His work ethic and leadership skills were commendable, earning him the respect of his colleagues and peers. In addition to his successful career, Jerry also served his country with honor as a member of the US Air Force.
