Jerry was a wonderful person who loved his family, his church, and the Lord. He cherished his friendships with multitudes of people. He always had a smile and a story to share. He will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Jerry was a wonderful uncle and good man. I will never forget growing up living beside him, he would come sit outside with us and bring us reese cups every day. Him and his brother Clyde(my papaw) also had candy of some sort on them and as a child I looked forward to it lol. But I will surely miss Jerry. May his soul rest in peace.
