B.J. Jarvis Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Billy proudly served as a Colonel at Florida State Prison, dedicating many years to his career. He was a man of many passions, with woodworking and fishing taking up much of his time outside of work. Billy was also a member at Bethel Baptist Church on 230A, where he found a strong sense of community and faith.
Married to his loving wife, Janie (Pearson) Jarvis, since 1972, their love story was an inspiration to all who knew them. Together, they raised two wonderful daughters: Cassandra Olson (Mike Mitchell), Heather Jarvis (Shaun In). Billy cherished his role as "Papaw" to his grandchildren, pouring love and wisdom into their lives. He is survived by his sister, June (Jarvis) Lee and her husband Ricky as well as many nieces and nephews.
Memorial Services will be at a later date. Arrangements are under the care of Jones-Gallagher Funeral 620 Nona Street, Starke Florida 32091. (904)964-6200. www.jonesgallaghefh.com
