06/22/1950 - 02/21/2025

“Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself: there-where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14: 1-3

Jerry J. Gordon, Sr. was born June 22, 1950 in Charleston, S.C. to the late Louisiana and the late George Gordon.

Jerry attended the public schools of Charleston County.

After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the United States Army. Jerry served his country faithfully from August 2, 1971, to August 31, 1991. After retiring from the United States Army, he served as a Constable for Richland County for many years.
