Read MoreI just heard about this and I’m in shock. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t pay my respects to his family. I’m praying for all of you. It’s sad to know that he is gone but I’m glad that both Dean and Jeryl are together with their mom again. We have some great angels looking over us.

Wow.... Another great friend from school, gone. Every time I was in Atkins if even only for a few hours to visit my grandpa's grave it was inevitable that I ran into Jeryl. His smile never faded over all these years and he was PROUD of his family.
My prayers are with his wife and son and extended family.
The pain never gets easier when you lose someone you love, it just becomes a conscious decision to keep going and honor their part in the life you shared.

I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Jeryl. I was his 4-H teacher in elementary school. Jeryl was a standout student. He had a wonderful personality and an unforgettable laugh. Even then, he was the kind of person everyone enjoyed being around and would remember fondly. My sympathies go out to his family.
