Jerrell "Jerry" Ralph Poindexter, D.D.S., 65, of Allen, Texas, passed away at home on Feb. 7, 2017. Jerry, as he was better known by his vast network of family and friends, was born in Mathis, Texas, on Aug. 3, 1951. He was a 1969 graduate of Richardson High School. He graduated with honors from Texas A&M University in 1975 and was an honor graduate of The University of Texas College of Dental Surgery at San Antonio in 1980.
