Jerry was born in Los Angeles, and moved to Las Vegas with his parents, Abe and Elena Fox, and sister Carol in 1955. After finishing Las Vegas High School, he worked at his family's restaurant, Foxy's Deli, which became a thriving landmark on the Las Vegas Strip.

He loved sports, movies, card games, trivia and trips to the beach. Jerry was also known for his generosity in the community that extended beyond his family.
Jerry was preceded in death by his wife of 28 years, Mary Fox; his son Brian Fox; sister Carol Taylor and brother-in-law Ron Taylor. He is survived by his partner Sonny Spiwak, son Stuart Fox of Las Vegas, daughter Francine (Ron) Jackson of Phoenix, stepson Ryan (Sylvia) Pretner of Las Vegas, stepdaughter Dana (Todd) Andrew of Walnut Creek, stepdaughter-in-law Mindy Pretner; grandchildren Jon Fox, Lita (Ben) Gutwein, Julia Fox, Cole Jackson, Corey Jackson, Luke Fox, Abbi Jackson; stepgrandchildren Max Pretner, Olivia Pretner, Daniela Pretner, Genesis Pretner, Mia and Chloe Andrew; great-grandchildren, Oliver, Ella, and Jack Gutwein.
