Jerry Jennings Obituary
Jerry was born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1932. He was the first child of Mildred and BB Jennings. He attended North Side High School and Texas Christian University.
Early in his youth Jerry showed an impressive talent in art. He received accolades throughout his schooling for this talent. At the age of 19 he was approached by a member of the Tandy family and asked to present designs for leather work. He received a commission for the designs that were accepted and, in a few years, Jerry was offered a position as a full employee. This employment reached its apex when Mr. Jennings was recognized as the second most-acclaimed Leather Artist in the USA.
Mr. Jennings family is daughter, Vonda Head (Michael); grandsons, Bryan and Charles Head; sisters, Linda Murray and Ann Clarkson (Peggy); four nieces and nephews, Don Murray (Deanna), Diane Murray Yarborough (Sam), Darrel Murray (Karen) and Ami Clarkson Mitchell (Matt).

My Uncle Jerry was so sweet. His laughter came easy, and he always had a story. He made beautiful leather products and great avocado dip alike. And best of all he brought Vonda into our family! I´m so grateful he spent the last year being so well taken care of, surrounded by family. He will be so missed, but what a life well-lived!
