Jerry Branch Obituary

Jerry Don Branch

Jerry Don Branch was born on February 28, 1955, in Florence, Arizona, to Floyd and Mae Branch. From an early age, Jerry learned the value of hard work, spending his childhood working in the fields alongside his parents and siblings.

After the passing of his father, Jerry moved to Porterville as a young child, where Howard Snook stepped into the role of father figure, standing alongside Mae as her partner and helping guide Jerry through his formative years.

Jerry was a devoted father who deeply loved his five daughters Andrea, Sandy, Becky, Amber, and Savannah. He also cherished his grandchildren and found great joy in time spent with family. Jerry loved to laugh, barbecue, and host family potlucks at the park. Family reunions were especially meaningful to him, and he was always eager to participate in every game and activity.

Jerry had a passion for all kinds of music and enjoyed fishing whenever he could. In his quieter moments, he liked playing casino games on his phone and trying his luck. Above all, Jerry was a strong believer in God, and his faith guided his life.

Jerry Don Branch will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His laughter, love for family, and joyful spirit will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
