Bio: Jerry was born to Ruth and Buddy Jones in Fort Worth, Texas. Jerry was an Azle Hornet football player from the age of Pee-Wee until graduating, known by his team mates as 'No-neck Jones'. He made 'All District Line-backer' his senior year.

His Uncle Shannon got him his first job at Harbison Fischer where he continued to save every dime he earned to build his first home with his dad so he could propose to his high school sweetheart, Penni.

For 37 years, Jerry and Penni raised their family in Azle, attending as many Azle High School Football games as they could. He loved watching his son and all his friends play the sport he loved so much. Jerry was also an avid Texas Ranger and Dallas Cowboys fan. Jerry was so proud to have been able to walk his daughter down the aisle and to play with his precious granddaughter. He was already spoiling her with his 'M&M’s'.

A few years after Harbison Fischer, Jerry was able to start his career with the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Department where he wore his uniform with pride. He was just a couple months away from working 19 years with the department. Jerry was a dedicated and loyal employee but most of all had lots of friends throughout the department because of his witty personality.

Survived by:
Penni - Wife
& son and daughter

Fatal Incident Summary
Offender: No Info
Location: Tarrant County Jail   Tarrant County, TX   USA   Sat. Dec. 12, 2020
Summary: Security Control Specialist Jerry Jones died from complications as the result of contracting COVID-19 during a confirmed exposure during an outbreak among employees and inmates at the Tarrant County Jail.

====================================================================

COVID-19, a flu-like virus, originated in Wuhan, China. Worth a mention, the Chinese Government had a biological research facility in that very province. At this point, it was widely held that COVID-19 was a bat-coronavirus and the first case was discovered in Wuhan in Oct. 2019.

On Dec. 31, 2019, Chinese authorities alerted the World Health Organization of pneumonia cases in Wuhan City, Hubei province, China, with an unknown cause. Jan 7, 2020 Chinese authorities identify a new type of coronavirus (called novel coronavirus or nCoV).

Despite deaths and an entire Chinese Province(Hubei) quarantined by the Chinese Government, the World Health Organization(WHO) simply declares a global public-health emergency. Despite this serious understatement, on January 31st, President Trump bans foreign nationals from entering the US if they were in China within the prior two weeks. Despite a large public outcry of racism, this move likely saved 1000's of American lives, it would later be deemed.

After a full blown global infection, and an entire country being declared on 'Lockdown'(Italy), on March 11th, WHO declared the outbreak a pandemic. This same day, President Trump bans all travel from 26 European countries. On Mar. 13th, a US national emergency is declared over the novel coronavirus outbreak.

On Mar. 23rd, New York City confirms 21,000 cases, making it the biggest epicenter of the outbreak in the US. On Mar. 31, more than 1/3 of humanity is under some form of lockdown. On Apr. 2nd, the world passes one million COVID-19 infections.

On April 7th, roughly 95% of all Americans are under lockdown, as 42 states issue stay-at-home orders. The entire American economy has ground to a halt. Congress passed laws awarding trillions in grants, loans and other types of assistance to the American working population and businesses.
