Jackie Doyle Grooms

Jackie Doyle Grooms, born 1952 in Buchanan, Michigan, passed away on November 27, 2025, in Knoxville, Tennessee. He is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Ruby Grooms. He is survived by several siblings as well as a large group of friends. Jackie meant so much to so many people. He was a loner and a grumpy ole gus, but when he broke into your heart, he was there to stay. He forged decades-long friendships that will last throughout several generations, with a "self-proclaimed" son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He was devoted to his self-appointed family and they are all grief-stricken at his passing. There will never be another "Grandpa". We love you, Gramps! Gentry Griffey Funeral Chapel is honored to serve the Grooms family and invites you to view and sign the online registry.
