Jerry Wayne Baumann was born to Rudolph and Josephine Onken Baumann in Roscoe. He graduated from Loraine High School in 1961, and attended Texas Lutheran College for one year before entering the U.S. Army. He received a medical discharge after developing stress fractures in both feet.

Jerry moved from West Texas to Fort Worth and worked for various companies prior to going to work for General Dynamics, now Lockheed Martin, in the maintenance department. His job and the people he worked with were his greatest joys.

Jerry was preceded in death by his wife, Ola Mae Baumann, in 1996.
