Jerry Ray Holly, a beacon of kindness and friendliness, passed away peacefully on February 4, 2025, in his hometown of Evansville, where he was also born on January 6, 1953. Jerry's love for animals was unparalleled, and his joyous spirit shone brightest during cookouts with friends and family.
Jerry's life was a testament to the power of love, as he approached every person and situation with a loving heart. His friendly demeanor made him a cherished member of the Evansville community, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
As we bid farewell to Jerry, we celebrate a life well-lived, full of compassion and genuine connections. His legacy of kindness will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have been touched by his gentle soul. Jerry Ray Holly will be dearly missed, but his warm smile and generous spirit will forever remain in our hearts.
