In 1977, Sweet met Eula Mae, and they wed together, where they had 4 children together. Danny, Jim, Rosetta, and Jurina were the reasoning behind Sweet's big heart of gold. He loved spending time with his family, making memories. Family was so important to Jerome, and one of the reasons that he will be missed greatly. During the time his children were small in age, Jerome would take his children to church every Sunday while his wife was working, and was a big part of his home Church New Bethel financially, and as a member.
