Mr. Jamison Lee “Jamie” Hankins, age 46, of Summerville, Georgia, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 29, 2026, at the residence of his mother in Menlo, Georgia. Born on December 18, 1979, in Ft. Oglethorpe, Georgia, Jamie lived a life characterized by dedication to his craft, devotion to family, and a zest for the simple joys of life.
A man of the Baptist faith, Jamie was self-employed as a carpenter, a profession that not only reflected his skill and hard work but also his commitment to building and creating with care and precision. His love for fishing brought him tranquility, while his reputation as the ultimate backyard grill master echoed the warmth and generosity he shared with those around him.
Jamie is survived by his mother and step-father, Betty and Kelly Wentz, who stood by his side throughout his life. He is also lovingly remembered by his daughter, Macy Edgerton-Davis, and her husband, Garrett, as well as his sister and brother-in-law, Karen and Bobby Teems. His brother and sister-in-law, Brian and Lindsey Hankins, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members, carry forward his memory in their hearts.
In accordance with Jamie’s wishes, he will be cremated, and his family plans to hold a private memorial service at a later date. The intimate nature of the ceremony reflects the close-knit bonds he cherished.
