Jerry D. Tinsley

Jerry, having introduced me to my future wife, was my Best Man. We got married on the Flatboat Pegasus, for which Jerry served as the Support Boat Captain. His daughter, Kelli, and my son, Tony, were born at about the same time. After my family and I moved away, Jerry and I saw each other seldom, but he was never far from my thoughts. My condolences to his family. He will be missed by many!

Thoughts and prayers again to the entire family

Paige & Kelli, Wanted to express my sympathy to you in the loss of your Daddy! You were his greatest joys, but he loved his students also. Sending sincere condolences to all of the family.

Jerry was a great friend and we worked together for a few years on the reassessment. I was always amazed how many people knew Jerry and really loved him It wasn't unusual for someone on the street to run up and hug Jerry. His students never forgot him and it was obvious they all loved him. He will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with Mr Tinsley's family and friends. He was my teacher at Evans and I always enjoyed going to his classroom. He was a great teacher and such a fun person to be around.

Mr. T was one of my favorite teachers when I went to Evans. When my daughter was small we ran into him at the pool. It was good to see him again. I will never forget him. I am sad to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.

Jerry your such a bright kind soul . Always welcome everyone with a Happy loving smile especially with your kids and grand babies . The light in your eyes when you talk about them and even brighter in person . And all that love is returned 10 fold . I remember the day you told me to enjoy them when they are small as it goes to fast . And that even when there grown they are still your baby's . And their babies are loved even more . This world sure will miss your onernious lol. As much as you...

Paige and I (Kelli) appreciate all the kind words and prayers! Reading all your comments and memories of our dad makes up very happy! Thank you for sharing

I absolutely loved Mr. T. I had him as teacher at Evans middle school. U always have that one teacher that was your favorite and never forget. He was the highlight of the school day. Couldn't wait til 5th period to see him. He was the "cool" teacher. Always joking and made learning fun. My condolences to his family. He was truly a gem! One in a million!
