To Rhonda and her beautiful family: I would like to take this time to express my deepest condolence to the Rayburn family. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. I returned back to work at KC today and when I read the e-mail, I was in dismay. I know that God does not make a mistake. Jerry and I had a special bond and I shall never forget his loyalty as a friend. I was the last person to see him when he resigned and left his office at KC. We embraced with a hug. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to meet such a good man. And I told him so. Jerry you will be missed and I shall never forget your smile. God bless you Rhonda and the Rayburn Family.--Toni D. Perry##imported-begin##Toni Perry##imported-end##
I am truly sorry for your loss. Uncle Jerry was a great man! I mostly remember Charissa and I anticipating his arrival home from work in Beaumont so he would swing us around in the living room by our heads. Wow! That was safe :.
He was such a jovial guy and that smile will always be remembered!
Love,

I had the honor of being a member of Jerrys extended family for the past ten years. I have never nor will I ever meet a man quite like him. Jerry was a devoted and loving husband a proud father and a patient doting grandfather and faithful true friend. Always there with a kind smile, sharp witt and a helping hand. A man of conviction and a man that would speak the truth, even if it was not what you wanted to hear. I am so blessed to have had this man in my life and I can only hope for one thing now, that with the help of family and friends we will keep his spirit alive, and that my son can become just a fraction of the man that he was. He will forever be loved, missed and remembered##imported-begin##Erika Deinbeck##imported-end##
Jerry was my brother-in-law and friend for 15 years. He had a way of lighting up a room with his warm, sincere, and optimistic attitude. He was a wonderful husband and father to his 3 children. I can still remember when they were small, he was always teaching them to fix or "build" something. We had many cookouts in their backyard on Sunday afternoons and we could always count on a good time.Being with all of his family was important to Jerry, and we all knew that! Chase, Matt, Charissa, please know that I love you and you are in my prayers. I loved your dad and know that he is in heaven celebrating with all of God's angels.##imported-begin##Kathi Nesbit Steger##imported-end##
Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss of a wonderful husband who loved you deeply and the loss of a dear friend to me. I enjoyed working with Jerry and when he came to my building, he most often would stop by and say "Good morning" with his cup of coffee, cowboy hat, and nice starched jeans/shirt.
It's hard to understand, accept or know why such a fine man was taken from this Earth at a young age. But, as we know, our ways are not God's ways. I know you will greatly miss him.
Please know, Rhonda, that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I was unable to attend Jerry's funeral in person but I was there in spirit.
Sincerely,##imported-begin##Sharlene Robinett##imported-end##
