Gerardo "Jerry" Serna Jr.

Jerry was born March 29, 1985, in El Paso, Texas, to Gerardo Serna Sr. and Yvonne DeHaro. He proudly served in the U.S. Army from 2008-2012 and went on to graduate from culinary school to fulfill his goal of becoming a chef. His passion for cooking and sports, specifically his treasured Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders and NY Yankees, was surpassed only by his devotion to his family and friends. His unforgettable and infectious laugh will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
