My condolences to the Jenkins family. My prayers are with y'all. The Avery I knew was an AMAZING man. An extremely PROUD father who deeply cherished his children. A man who saw the best in everything. His faith in God was unwavering. His love was powerful and pure. His joy was contagious. You couldn't be around Avery and not be happy. He was a dedicated hard worker, sometimes to a fault. A prideful man. He was always there at that exact moment you needed him, even though you never asked....

Avery was a great man. I remember him and Evelun opening their house up on Saturday nights so we could hang out and have bible study. Always loving basketball and Michael Jordan. Always had a big and genuine smile. Praying for your boys and your family.
