Jerry was born in Ballinger, TX on April 20, 1943 to Zach and Hazel Tounget. He grew up in Christoval and played a little 6-man football at Christoval High School. After graduation he worked different jobs for a living, but his longest occupation was driving a truck. Jerry lived most his life in west central and west Texas and had a wide range of interests....For fun, Jerry dabbled in Quarter Horse racing at Wilkie Downs in San Angelo, took a few vacation trips (saw the ocean), ran a few cows, and liked to go camping at Big Bend.

After he retired, life slowed down for Jerry, but he always enjoyed the moment he was living. He always knew what was happening on his street, in his neighborhood, and in town. He was so well informed as to who was doing what to who and why and he was always up to date with the latest news!

While Jerry was a dedicated talker, he did not communicate his feelings often, but he deeply appreciated his life and always, always loved the conversations and connections he made with those around him.

Jerry is lovingly survived by survived by his son, Donald Tounget of Midlothian, TX; granddaughters Ashley and Hannah Tounget of Midlothian, TX; his daughter, Rhonda Tounget of San Angelo, TX; his sister Patricia Fillip of Carlsbad, TX; his brother Ricky Tounget of San Angelo, TX; his sister-in-law, Charlotte Tounget, his good friend, Butch Kirk; and his nephew, Dennis Fillip, and many other cousins, nieces, and nephews.
