It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mr. Jerry G. Jenkins, who left us peacefully on January 21, 2025, at the age of 68. Born on March 20, 1956, at Akron, OH, Jerry was a proud resident of the city, where he lived a life full of love, laughter, and adventure.
Jerry was known for his warm spirit and generous nature. He had a knack for making friends wherever he went and was a true source of joy to everyone who knew him, and his absence will be felt deeply by all.
Friends may call on January 27, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, in the Dunn-Quigley Funeral Home 811 Grant St., Akron, OH. A funeral service will be held January 28, 2025, at 9:00 AM in Dunn-Quigley Funeral Home at Akron. Following the service, he will be laid to rest at Glendale Cemetery at 10:00 AM.
Jerry's legacy lives on in the hearts of those who loved him. We hope you can join us to honor and remember him.
