Jerry Floyd Smith was born on September 11, 1936, in a farmhouse just north of Lindsay to James Daniel & Ollie Ester (Duncan) Smith. Surrounded by his family, he passed from this life and hugged Jesus, his Lord and Savior, on January 10, 2026.

The first two years of his life, Jerry was only known as “baby boy” before he was named. On January 22, 1955, at the age of 17, he asked Darleen Ann Webb if she would like to go to Texas and get married. Darleen answered, “Sure, why not”. They had three children, Teresa, Steve, and Mark. For the first 16 years of marriage, Jerry and his family moved 16 times. Jerry never finished high school, but received his GED so he could attend East Central University (ECU) in 1962. He graduated from ECU in 1966 and started his careers.

Jerry took his first management position with Goodyear Tire Company while he was attending college, then became the El Reno store manager in 1967. He also worked for Goodyear in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. In 1970, Jerry moved his family to 329 Elmwood, Lindsay Oklahoma, and was employed by Seiberling Tire Company. In 1971, he partnered up with Fred Simmons with Simmons Roofing Company. Jerry eventually bought the roofing company, and it became Garvin County Roofing Company. He stayed in the roofing business until 1977, when he sold the roofing company to get into oilfield tank trucks. Jerry and Buddy Smith partnered up in 1977, as Buddy’s Tank Trucks until the early 1980s, when Jerry became the owner and changed the name to FEMCO, Incorporated. While Jerry ran the trucking company, he also became a House of Representatives legislator in 1981 until January 1985. After many years in the trucking business, in 2003, he went into semi-retirement, selling FEMCO to his son Steve.

In July 2016, Jerry lost the wife of his youth after 61 years of marriage.

On June 16, 2017, Jerry married the blessing of his senior life, Sue Dennis. Beginning then, they enjoyed their senior years with lots of adventures. Traveling about the western United States, Alaska, and even the Gulf of America with lots of wild tales. Jerry enjoyed talking with everyone, figuring out if he was kin to you, telling you who your grandparents or your great grandparents were, and what they did many years ago. Strangers would become friends in a matter of minutes as he would enlighten them of some type of past relationship that crossed their paths. Jerry recalled events that went all the way back to 1938. He could tell story upon story with details that seemed impossible to remember. Jerry was first ordained as a deacon while serving at Trinity Baptist Church in Ada, OK, and served as a deacon at each church he affiliated with for the rest of his life.

Jerry is survived by his children: Teresa Richards, Steve (Dana) Smith, Mark (Connie) Smith, Shonda (Bob) Tillman, and Brent Pugh.

Jerry is survived by his grandchildren: Krista (Brad) Smith, Jason (Emily) Smith, Dana (Matt) Hines, Emily (Larry) Stinnett, Erica Salazar, Brad Richards, Nathan Richards, Stacie (Matt) Hill, Markayla (Chad) Wedge, Kevin (Brittany) Smith, Kyle (Lindsay) Smith, Connor (Sarah) Smith, Jon (Corina) Krug, Rocky (Caitlin) Krug, Krystal Krug, Dustyn (Tonya) Orr, Justyn (Natalie) Orr, and Mandy (Steve) Hudson

Jerry is survived by his great-grandchildren: McKenzie Smith, Riley (Torii) Smith, Macey (Zack) Miller, Kloey Smith, Grayson Smith, Gentry Smith, Cale Hines, Kendall Hines, Cruz Hines, Makayla Stinnett, Maklain Stinnett, Madison Stinnett, Christopher (Shy) Salazar, Sierra Salazar, Dakota (Asia) Mills, Ben Hill, Jackson Hill, Bryce Franklin, Braden Franklin, Eleanor Smith, Ezra Smith, Amelia Smith, Leon Krug, Norah Krug, Rebel Krug, Rocky Krug, Raven, Krug, Raena Krug, Miller Orr, Briley Orr, Ava Orr, Arya Orr, Adeline Orr, Konner Hudson, and Luke Hudson.

Jerry is also survived by, Fredia Smith (sister-in-law), Donnie (Wanda) Webb (brother-in-law, sister-in-law), Loretta Sparks (sister-in-law), Vicky Webb (sister-in-law), and many nieces and nephews (whom I’m sure he could name each one of them!).
