He was adopted by his mother’s first husband, Brian Penn, and raised in Fort Worth along with his younger brother Kristopher Penn. Jerry attended Everman High School and had aspirations of obtaining his business degree while concurrently pursuing his real passion, music. At an early age Jerry had an unmatched passion for music and had the talent, whether it be singing or playing an instrument, to become the superstar he knew he could be. Jerry’s talent and uniqueness far reached beyond his knack for music though. Everything he did he was either naturally gifted at or had the adaptive ability to become masterful at. Jerry was a beautiful soul and everybody loved him. He was preceded in death by his father, Jerry Shorts and his adoptive father, Brian Penn. Jerry will be fondly remembered by his loving mother, Tracy Penn; his adoring wife, Jennifer Waturuocha; his brothers, Kristopher Penn and his wife Shana, Cornillious Brown, Jerry “Chico” Jr., Adrian Shorts; his sister, Katelyn Shorts; his best friend, Sedrick Warren; and his dog, God.
