Jerry was born to Edgar Morgan and Ethel Winn Morgan in Preston, Idaho.  He was raised in Weston and Preston, Idaho until he was called on a mission to Sweden.   When he returned from his mission he joined the Navy.  While his ship was in Boston Harbor he met and later married Shirley Rhoda in 1954.

Jerry spent the remainder of his life in the Boston area.  His heart remained in Idaho and Utah where his family later moved, he always talked about coming home to the mountains, and whenever he visited home returned to Weston and Preston to see all of his favorite places and memories.
