Mr. Marion Lee Houser Jr.

Junior, as he was affectionately known, by his family and friends was born on December 23,1940, the oldest son of Marion and Jeddie Houser, in North, South Carolina. As a young boy he loved to play marbles and shine shoes part time, while attending Elementary and High School at the Dover District Schools in South Carolina. He occasionally attended and then joined St. Darcus Baptist Church, where he was baptized at the age of fourteen. After graduating high school, he decided to travel from state to state in order to find work to assist his family in relocating to Brooklyn,NY.Soon after,he met and married PearlieTisdale, of Kingstree,South Carolina. After a short stint in between jobs, he gained employment with Arrow Beverage Company as a truck driver, where he retired after many years of service. As the years went by, he acquired the moniker, Jerry. During these years his fascination of cars and fashion grew. He was admired for his style and was very dapper back in the day. He would always say “What it look like, What it look like?”referring to how sharp he looked in his clothing. He enjoyed his life to the fullest, with family and friends, until he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. His mental and physical constitution was strong to the very end. Loved ones that are already waiting for him in eternity, are his father and mother, his brothers, Etholia, Clint, Jimmy, his grandson Wainne, Jr. and his beloved daughter Valerie. Loved ones that will miss him until they all meet again are his wife Pearl of 59 years, his sons Howard and Ronald, his son-in-law Wainne Renaldo, his daughters Sharone and Bernidine, his beloved caregiver Mrs. IndiraShiwdas, who was like a daughter to him, his grandsons Brandon, Dantae and Justin, his sister, Reverend Mary Houser-Hyacinth, his sister-in-law Patricia Houser and his in-laws John and Alexzine Tisdale.
