Mr. Jerry was the original Netflix; The Bible in 52 weeks… good luck! ;) (there’s a real chance Jesus chuckled at that)
In Memory of
Jerry George Yandell
Jerry George Yandell met his Savior face-to-face on July 15, 2025.
Born on July 10, 1953, in Waco, Texas, Jerry lived a full life rooted on the two things most important to him: faith and family.
He is survived by his loving wife, Alecia, who he was married to for 43 years. He deeply loved his children — John, James, and Emily — and especially cherished both teaching and spoiling his five grandchildren: Abigail, Nathan, Sophie, Cameron, and Oliver.
Jerry spent most of his career as a mortgage loan officer with Wells Fargo, where he was recognized upon his retirement after 28 years of exemplary service. He also served faithfully as
a Sunday school teacher for 28 years, leaving a profound impact on countless children and teenagers.
A man of deep faith, Jerry never failed to help someone in their need. He was fully confident in the promise that awaited him: eternity with his Savior, free from pain. His unwavering faith in Jesus was passed down to each of his children and this very faith is the source of comfort for his family now.
Known for his sharp mind, wit, and sense of humor, Jerry loved passing on his knowledge of just about anything. He was an Eagle Scout and an avid outdoorsman. If he wasn’t at the pool, you could find him in one of the 20 Texas state parks he visited frequently throughout his life. He and Alecia once spent over 180 days camping in a single year.
Described as a “true family man," Jerry gave all that he had to bring joy, wisdom, and love to those around him. He will be deeply missed.
All are invited to join his family for a celebration of his life and legacy on Saturday, July 26 at 10AM at New Day Church, 3615 Mangum Road, Houston, Texas 77092.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests making donations to the Lottie Moon missions offering to support missionaries around the world.

Jerry was a very special man. Always had a smile on his face, and always eager to help. When our children were very young, Jerry was their Sunday School teacher. He made learning about Jesus and the Bible so much fun, that they loved going to church. We're so thankful that he was a part of our lives. Jerry was dearly loved, and will be greatly missed.

I will miss Mr Jerry but will be waiting to reunite with him with our Lord. He was a very warm and caring person. He made a lasting impression on my daughter, Megan, who often tells her children about his Sunday school classes. He had a gift with the young kids and knew how to reach them. My prayers will be with his family. Sorry we can't make it Saturday but I'm there in spirit. God bless you with my love as well

Mr. Jerry was the Pablo Escobar of Sunday school teachers, he brought the coca-cola (and Mary something donuts). Enjoy the VIP section in heaven, you’re the greatest of all time. I love you.

I don’t think Mr. Jerry could have ever known or understood the profound impact he has had on my life. It’s comforting to know that he must know now. He always gave me a safe place to question and grow without ever putting me down or telling me it was not the right time. There will be a void that I don’t think many could fill. I’m just grateful to have gotten to know him.
