Jerry F. Bullard

Jerry F. Bullard

Jerry Frank Bullard, 64, of Tomball, Texas was promoted to his heavenly home on December 25, 2010, after a long and difficult battle with AML. Hospice enabled him to be at home with his family until he died early Saturday morning.
Jerry was born October 2, 1946 to Elma and Grady Bullard at his grandmothers' home in Madisonville, Texas. He lived in Freeport, Texas and graduated from Brazosport High School in 1965. He was drafted into the Army and served from 1967 to 1969. After being discharged, he served as a prison guard for the Texas Department of Corrections in Huntsville. He attended and graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminology. Upon moving to Houston he was employed by GMAC and later Spartan Insurance. After being recommended to become an agent for State Farm Insurance, he began his 33 year career.
In May of 1981, Jerry married Debbie Johnson and they enjoyed nearly 30 years together. Moving to Tomball in 1994, Jerry enjoyed working with his hands, welding, building trailers, assisting friends or neighbors with projects and spending time with his family. He had a keen interest in and was intrigued by the history of the Titantic. Known as "Pops" he introduced his grandkids to ATVs, jet skis, tools and more information than they could comprehend. For the past 15 years, Jerry enjoyed many hours hunting, four wheeling and building deer blinds on the Waco Creek ranch in San Saba, Texas.
He is survived by his wife Debbie; children Jeremy Bullard of Houston and Amy Hargrove (Kevin) of Tomball; sisters Peggie Stout (RJ) Beaumont and Perri Cook (Kenneth)Union,Kentucky; brothers Pat Bullard (Shirley) Marble Falls and Paul Bullard (Linda) College Station; grandchildren Whitney, Garrett, Landon and Carson Hargrove; numerous nieces and nephews; and an abundance of friends and his beloved dachshunds Spencer and Tracy.
Jerry will always be fondly remembered for his attention to detail, his critiques, his endless knowledge, advice and generosity, countless nicknames for friends and family and his limited ability to speak Spanish.
Our deepest gratitude to State Farm staff, Jackie, Bonnie and Elsa, Cheryl Shaughnessy and the staff of KRK #7,51. A special thanks to Dr. Michael Di Teresa, the doctors, nurses and staff of MD Anderson.

I did not run with Jerry in High School.  We became pretty good friends when we both worked for State Farm.  We did a few things together and he wrote a lot of insurance on my family.  We would go to lunch and discuss what was going on with the company and our personal lives.  Jerry and I got to know each pretty well.  When he was diagnosed with his health problem....he never complained to me about it.  I did give platelets and plasma for Jerry.  The last time we talked was by phone.....he would not let me come see him....he said he got weak real easy and had lost lot of weight....did not want friends to see him that way.  Debbie told me later that he had lost the weight, but never lost his trust in the Lord.  RIP Jerry, you fought the good fight.  Later my friend.
