Jerry Lee Gartman

Still missing you.

I can't believe you are gone. We would speak occasionally and it might be a month or a year go by but it was like never missing a beat. I hope that GOD will wrap his loving arms around John, his Mom, his neice, nephew and the rest of his family and friends through out the holidays. Your soul will always will be with each of your love ones when your name is called. Until we meet again my friend, may you rest in peace and know that you will never be forgotten.C

I met Lee 7 years ago, but it feels like a lifetime. The truth is I never knew or became my true self until I met Lee. I have always felt that I needed to suppress my personality, loudness, and thoughts in order to fit in with others. Lee allowed me to find and to be my true self. Lee and I were so much alike: we do not like being alone and get our energy from being around other people. We both have big mouths and strong opinions. We both love to make others laugh by making a fool of...

My sincere condolences to the family for the loss of your loved one. May prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you, and may our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father, who loves us, comfort your hearts and "make you firm". (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17)

I, unfortunately, was never close friends with Lee, but had the pleasure of speaking to him multiple times. He was always a joy to chat with and always made everyone feel welcomed. There truly was no "stranger" to Lee, as he would break the ice and make conversation with anyone.

My heartfelt condolences to all of the family and friends of this man who touched many lives.

I worked with Jerry during our SSI implementation in California years ago. He was the sweetest man and knew how to charm the pants off of you. When I would call him, I always knew he was smiling. I will always remember him. He will be greatly missed!
Please accept my condolences
