Obituary of Jerlon R. Wilkins
Jerlon Wilkins was a very loving cousin, son, and father. He was always the life of the party and kept us all smiling. We want to remember all the good times and laughs he brought us over the years. While there were so many people effected with his passing we are grateful for the time we had here with him.
He will never be forgotten! We got you for life and even after. His smile was contagious. Life is too short. We will rise above and make sure your name stays alive.
Jerlon is survived by his two daughters Jakayla and Jayana; his son MJ; as well as his mother, Patricia Wilkins; father, Tim Hargrove; aunt Mary Wilkins, aunt Glinda Wilkins, uncle Robert Wilkins, uncle Tim Wilkins, as well as many cousins who loved him dearly from the Wilkins to the Johnsons.
Funeral Services will be held at 1 pm, Friday, May 5, 2023 at Gay & Ciha Funeral and Cremation Service.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
