Jerry Ferguson, age 91, of Kingwood, passed away from this life into the presence of the Lord on Thursday, the 27th day of October 2022, at Kingwood Memory & Assisted Living. He was born on 13th day of February, 1931, in Verda, Kentucky. Mr. Ferguson grew up in Jasper, Alabama where he graduated from Jefferson High School in 1949. Upon graduation, he joined the Navy and while stationed in Beeville, Texas met his wife, Margaret Angermiller. After being married in 1953, they made their first home in Corpus Christi, Texas where he started his career in the oil industry at Hess Oil. Years later, the family moved to Deer Park, Texas, and finally, Jerry and Margaret retired to Palestine, Texas. Mr. Ferguson never forgot his Alabama roots and they remained close to his heart throughout his life. Traveling and visiting several National Parks in the U.S. was one of his favorite pastimes. He had a keen eye for fine craftsmanship whether it be cars, motorcycles, watches, coins or country music; especially Johnny and Willie. He had two cats that he absolutely adored. He is preceded in death by his wife of 66 years, Margaret, and his brother, VL Ferguson. "Papa" is survived by his daughters, Debbie Dewey and husband Rene of Cypress, Texas. Denise Townsend and husband Craig of Kingwood, Texas. Diane Rybak and husband Wayne of Houston, Texas. Grandchildren, Candace Herter, Kyle Rybak, Jordan Townsend, Moriah Gienger, Nathan Townsend and Anna Cox. Great grandchildren, Quinn Herter, Carson Herter, Kayleigh Rybak and Ryan Rybak.
