Jerry was born in Lethbridge on September 9, 1952. After graduating from LCI, he worked as a letter carrier. Subsequently, he started his own business doing odd jobs for seniors. In the last few years of his life, he delivered newspapers for the Lethbridge Herald, and always took great pride in his work by making sure that the all of the newspapers were delivered on time. He spent many summers camping with his friends and family, and he loved animals. In his younger years, he was a great friend and mentor to his brothers, niece and nephews.

Jerry struggled with mental illness, but faced his challenges head on with courage and tenacity. He will be greatly missed by all of those who were close to him.

He was predeceased by his mother and father, Bill and Doris Winter, his brother, Dea Winter and his sister, Darlene Winter. He is survived by his brothers, Doug (Nancy) and Wayne, plus numerous nieces and nephews.
