He was born in 1960 in Houston, along with his twin brother Terry.

Jerry is survived by his sons Jonathan (Laura), Jason (Ashley); daughter Andrea (Derek); grandchildren Hayden, Parker, James, Olivia, and Hannah; father Glenn; brothers Terry and Bobby; sister Linda; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife of 28 years, Kathleen; his mother Virginia; and his brother Larry. Michael Roland Toutant (1957~2023) Michael Roland Toutant passed away at the hospital in Hartford, Connecticut, on August 30, 2023, with his life partner Linda and her daughter Emily by his bedside. At an early age, Michael worked alongside his father and other family members at Numa Tool Company, eventually earning the position of vice president. After the sale of the company in 1985, he followed in his father’s footsteps by taking charge of A & W Well Drilling Company. In 1986, Michael then opened his own well drilling company, Dalmik Well Drilling, operating it until his death. He loved to travel, fly helicopters, ride motorcycles, and drive his Cadillac Eldorado - enjoying life to the fullest.

The management and staff of WWDR extend their sympathies to Jerry’s and Michael’s family, friends, and former colleagues. Lest we forget . . . The new 6133CTS 2-inch insert stiffener from A. Y. McDonald Mfg. Co. is made from 304 stainless steel using a deep-drawn press process, compared to their rolled stiffener with interlocking puzzle design. Insert stiffeners are designed to support plastic pipe connections. When a compression joint is made, the insert stiffener supports 360 degrees around the inside of the tube, offering stability to the tube and leading to a long-lasting, watertight seal between joints.
