He worked as a Grad-all operator for the Vermilion Parish Police Jury. Jerry loved being outdoors, and farming. Jerry farmed for 42 years. His love of farming began as a young boy, following his dad (his best friend) everywhere. Where you saw Jr., you saw Jerry. He also loved to cook and dance, but his greatest joy came from the time he was able to spend making memories with all of his family and friends. He spoke French fluently and was proud of his French heritage. Jerry was loved by many and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. Jerry is survived by his mother Dorothy V. Bourque of Gueydan, LA; his beloved wife, Darlene R. Bourque of Gueydan, LA; his son, Anthony C.
