Gerald 'Jerry' Paul Westmoreland Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Gerald “Jerry” Paul Westmoreland, age 74, went to his Heavenly Home on Monday, July 18, 2022. He was born and raised in Baker, LA and graduated from Baker High School. Jerry made his home in Denham Springs when he married his wife, Shyrl, and raised their beautiful family. He retired from Exxon in 2002, which gave him more time to pursue his favorite pastime – fishing. Jerry was an avid fisherman and was especially proud of his biggest catch, an 11 lb. 11 oz. bass that he caught on Lake Guerrero in Mexico. When he wasn’t fishing, he loved spending time at his 2nd home, that he built himself, in Gloster, MS. Jerry loved the peace and quiet that Mississippi offered. He was not a hunter because he was too soft-hearted to kill any of the animals, but thoroughly enjoyed watching and feeding the wildlife on the property. Jerry was an exceptional man who loved his family deeply and will be forever missed. Jerry is survived by his wife Shyrl Westmoreland; daughters and sons in law, Traci & Tim Beatty and Christi & Jeromy Jett; daughter in love, Laura Goodwin Guillory (Mike); the son he never had Travis Murry (Tori); sister, Cheryl “Trudy” Fleming; brother, Gene Westmoreland (Lynn); grandchildren, Brendan Jett (Bethanie), Brooks Beatty, Matthew Jett, Dru Beatty, and Jude Guillory; godson, Richie Paul LeJeune; goddaughter, Melissa (Westmoreland) Stubbs and numerous nieces & nephews. He is proceeded in death by his parents, Alton and Jerri Westmoreland; brother, Malachi “Mal” Westmoreland; brother-in-Law, Glynn Fleming; father & mother-in-law, Hollis and Alma Cutrer. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the visitation in the chapel of Brandon G. Thompson Funeral Home, 7738 Florida Blvd, Denham Springs, LA 70726, on Friday, July 22, 2022, from 11:00 a.m. until the Memorial Service at 2:00 p.m.
