Sylvester Jenkins Sr.

Hey everyone. I am Joseph Jenkins. This is my grandfather. He is the strongest man I have ever met. I am truly honored and blessed to be his grandson and am glad he was apart of my life. He was a very determined, goal-driven, hard working family man. He helped my father teach myself and my brother how to be a man. I'm saddened by his departure but reassured because he is finally happy. I love you grandaddy. Always and forever. I will never let you down! I'm gonna make you proud.

To the Jenkins family, May God's love comfort you in this time of sorrow. Mr. Jenkins played a very important part in my dad's life. (Thomas "Bunny" Willis). He always spoke very fondly of him and told of the history they had together. I know that they are together again as they both have passed on to the heavens. Joan Willis thompson

Long before we're ready we sadly say goodbye...

A precious friend (Mr. Jenkins) has departed....
His voice we loved is still
A place is vacant in our midst
Which can never be filled
Sleep on brother and take your rest
We loved you But God loved you best!

With Sympathy

At this time of remembrance, may you all find comfort and strength through each other, family and friends. Although his earthly presence is no longer here, his spiritual essence will be forever present, continuing to watch over those he loved so dearly. Peace and blessings to all of you!

Your Father and Grandfather will be missed tremendously however a phenomenal spirit such as his can never be loss. In just the one conversation at length that I had the pleasure of having with this great man, I was captivated by his eloquence and charm. Mr. Jenkins’ influence, love, and memory will certainly resonate for many, many generations to come. May the peace of God comfort and keep you. God bless.

Syl, Julie, Jeff, Valerie, Keenan, & Joseph:

Mr. J will always be remembered by me with great fondness for his easy-going and perpetually positive attitude, acceptance as a friend of all he met, and his genuine purity of heart. I enjoyed his company whenever he was around our house and his ability to blend in with my sometimes crazy family. It also was a pleasure to see how much all of you loved and cared for him. As his role is now that of your guardian angel, I know you will...

Granddaddy, I love you with my whole heart! There is never going to be a day in which I don't think of you. Thank you for your love, care, support and wisdom. You were an awesome example of what a man truly is...Thank you for teaching me about the word of God and how to strive to live a life that's pleasing to our God!!! You will surely be missed.. you’re the best Granddaddy I could have ever hoped for!!!! I’ll keep pressing to be the strong woman of God you and Grandma taught me to be… ...
