Jerry was born in Clover, SC, the son of Lloyd Daniel Weed and Nellie Johnson Weed. He grew up in Winnsboro, SC. In high school, he was a good student and excelled in athletics. Upon graduation from high school, he was awarded a full football scholarship to Newberry College. After receiving his bachelors degree, he became an assistant coach for the Cooper River Blue Devils. He then moved on to Chicora High School after the creation of their own football program. Later, he received his masters degree from Appalachian State. When Stall High School opened, he became the first A.D. and head football coach of the Warriors. He later became A.D. and head football coach of the St. Andrews Rocks where he was selected Coach of the Year. When Fort Johnson High School opened, he became the first A.D. and head football coach of the Trojans. After years of coaching, he became a school administrator at both Harbor View and Fort Johnson Middle Schools until his retirement. Jerry loved being with his family more than anything else. He met Beverly at a homecoming dance at Newberry College, and they danced through life together. They were blessed with three sons upon whom they doted. They traveled with camper in tow to many historic locations, as well as to other exciting destinations. Jerry restored a dilapidated shack on Lake Marion into an enjoyable vacation home. He enjoyed bass fishing and many fun times with his family on the lake. After retirement, Jerry and Bev discovered a perfect spot in Maggie Valley where Jerry designed and built a special place for them. He then crafted the furnishing with his own two hands.
