This was an urban legend. Jerry Mathers served in the Air National Guard in the Vietnam War. The wire services routinely scanned the list of causalities for famous names, and a name similar to Jerry Mathers appeared on that list. Jerrys death was then reported by the wire services. The rumor was later compounded when Shelly Winters mentioned Jerrys death on the Tonight Show. Jerry is alive and well.
