Jerry Arthur Fletcher went to be with the Lord, Wednesday, May 6, surrounded by his family. Born in San Jose, California, Dec. 28, 1939, to Carl and Lucille Fletcher, he grew up in Santa Clara County, graduating from James Lick High School in 1958. A talented athlete, he went on to play football for Cal Poly Institute as a tight end. He loved rodeo, traveling the West Coast, bull dogging, team roping, and calf roping.
He joined the California National Guard and after completing his training at the law enforcement academy, went to work for the Santa Clara Sheriff's Department as a deputy.
He would later settle in Fallon, Nevada, working on drill rigs in Dixie Valley and working on the Fallon Naval Air Station until his retirement in 2016.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Lucille, father, Carl, and his former wives Bernie, Donna, and Linda. He is survived by daughters Karin (Matthew) of South Carolina, Toni of California, and bonus daughters Stacey (Brennan), Terry (Curtis), and Lynne (Fred) of California, grandchildren, Chantell (Chris), Garrett, Dawson, Josiah of Virginia, Jason (Tanya), Brittany (Joe), Kaitlyn (Craig), Rachael (Dyllon), Kyle (Allison), Korey (Courtney), Kaleb (Meredith) of South Carolina, Tyler (Britt), and Greg of North Carolina and great-grandchildren Blake, Ethan, Andrew, Catie, Lucas, Greyson, Dawson, Auggie, Connor, Lillie, Elowyn, Ivy, Vivi, Weston, Ben of South Carolina and Charlotte, Claire, and Carly of North Carolina.
