Jerry Cross Obituary

Jerry Lee Cross, born on June 7, 1968, at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, passed away on December 6, 2024, in Clarksville, Tennessee. A beloved husband, father, and son, Jerry leaves behind a legacy of love and dedication to his family.

Jerry was a proud graduate of Northwest High School in Clarksville. He built a respected career as a truck driver for Walmart, a position he dedicated himself to throughout his career. His work ethic and commitment to excellence were evident, and he formed lasting relationships with those he encountered along the way.

He is survived by his wife, Melissa Sponseller Cross; their three children, Justin, Branden, and Emma Cross; his mother, Helga Seidenader Cross; and his brother, James Cross. Jerry was predeceased by his father, SFC (Ret) James Cross.

Jerry's family has planned a visitation and a Celebration of Life, which will take place on Thursday, December 12, 2024, at McReynolds-Nave & Larson Funeral Home in Clarksville, Tennessee. The visitation will begin at 5:00 PM, followed by the Celebration of Life Service at 6:00 PM.

As we remember Jerry, we honor a man who cherished his family and friends, valued hard work, and lived life with passion. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Friends may leave Words of Comfort or Tributes on Jerry's tribute page at NaveFuneralHomes.com.
