Donald L. Jervis (Don Sr.)

February 5,1935 - January 15, 2023

Donald L. Jervis, better known as Don Jervis Sr., passed away peacefully in his home--just short of his 88th birthday--surrounded by his family. As the 2nd generation of The Jervis Family Real Estate Legacy, Don was originally licensed in 1953, becoming a member of the Southeast Board of Realtors, then eventually the Downey Board of Realtors. In the early 1960’s, he and his brother purchased Jervis Realty in Maywood from their father, and expanded to 7 offices over the next several years. After 41 years in the profession, he retired in 1994, selling the business to his children in 1994, and to this day, the third Jervis generation continues on with daughter Jackie, broker of Century 21 Jervis & Associates.

Don is survived by the love of his life, Pinkey, married just short of 69 years (he married on his 19th birthday), his children and their spouses, Don & Margaret, Jackie & Judd, Kenny, and Jerry & Tami, as well as 7 wonderful grandchildren and 5 granddogs.

Don’s wisdom, sense of adventure, wit and humor, combined with his undying love for his family and faith in God, will forever live in those whose lives he touched.

A celebration of life will be held on July 29, 2023 at 1:30pm at Downey Calvary Chapel, 12808 Woodruff Avenue in Downey. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to www.alzheimers.am.
