Jerry Don Cason

Jerry Don Cason, born in Point, Texas to Claude Cason and Lota Rabe Cason on February 12, 1945, passed from this earthly life on July 27, 2026, leaving behind a legacy built on devotion, perseverance, and the warmth of family ties. To know Jerry was to understand the gentle power of kindness, handed out not in grand gestures but in the steady acts of love that marked every chapter of his journey.

Born one of ten siblings, Jerry held the distinct honor of being Granny Cason’s favorite. It was a distinction sealed in stolen pieces of candy, sweet treasures quietly passed from loving hands to the boy she singled out in her special way. The bond of family surrounded Jerry his entire life—he was the second youngest of a bustling household, inseparable from his youngest sibling, Margaret Ann. Their camaraderie was a lifelong thread, Margaret Ann not only his little sister but his best friend, his confidante in laughter and heartache alike.

Jerry’s life called him to distant places early on, courageous and eager as he joined the Army and traveled across the world to Japan. His service carried the steadfast values that would define the man he became—duty, resilience, and an unwavering sense of purpose. He returned from afar and rooted himself in his community, where his diligent spirit bloomed into entrepreneurship as he established a plumbing and back hoe business. His work was his pride, but it was never just about pipe and earth; it was about building, repairing, and serving others.

Underneath his hard-working nature, Jerry was defined by a loving, kind heart. Friends and family recognized in him a gentle patience and quiet generosity—qualities evident in the laughter that filled his home, in the reverence with which he spoke about those he cherished. Jerry delighted in simple pleasures: the roar of motorcycles, the clatter of dominoes in a friendly match, and especially the fierce excitement of a game of 42, where he earned the reputation of a true shark. His sharp mind and playful wit made every gathering richer.

But above all else, Jerry Don Cason’s proudest accomplishments were woven into the faces of his family. His eyes sparkled the brightest when speaking of the generations that blossomed under his care, celebrating his grandchildren and great-grandchildren as treasures beyond measure, his love for his son—lovingly nicknamed “little Jerry”—testament to the enduring circle of family. Guided by unwavering faith, Jerry found comfort and community at Clarks Chapel Church of God, where his devotion to the Lord was quietly expressed in steadfast attendance, open-hearted worship, and the sincerity of his prayers.

He is survived by his children, Carla Cason, Jerry Don Cason Jr; grandchildren, Cody Anderson, Joey Mullins Jr., Tristin Haney; great-grandchildren, Aliviah Prator, Allaya Davis; siblings Kenneth and Paul as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

Jerry Don is preceded in death by his parents Claude Cason and Lota Rabe Cason; siblings, Preston, Christine, Maureen, Bobby Lee, Joe Ben, Linda Kay and Margaret Ann.

Jerry’s life was a tapestry of dedication, humor, and warmth—a mosaic of sweet memories, hard-earned achievement, and abiding love. He leaves behind stories to be told and retold, dominoes yet to be played, and a lineage that will carry his memory forward with the same kindness and courage that marked his days among us.

For all who loved and admired him, Jerry’s passing marks not only the end of a life well-lived, but the enduring presence of his spirit in every laughter-filled game, every act of quiet service, and every memory where a gentle hand reaches out, just as he so often did.
