PRINCETON – Jerry Jerome Jennings, 61, of Princeton, died Sunday, June 23, 2024. Born November 21, 1962 in Princeton, he was the son of the late Clifford Jennings and Auntrenette Walker Jennings.
Jerry was an inspiration to so many people. He helped people learn to believe in themselves, and changed many lives, through his work at Recovery Point WV in Bluefield. He liked fishing, going to the river with his family and riding the country backroads. He enjoyed the simple life and loved his family. His sons were the light of his life.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by one sister, Vanessa Taylor; and four brothers, Clifford (Darrell) Jennings, Claude (O.J.) Jennings, Jeff Jennings and Timmy Jennings.
Survivors include his companion of 12 years, Kristi Smith of Princeton; two sons, Jerry Jennings, Jr. of Matoaka and Coleton Jennings of Princeton; one grandson, Bryson Jennings; and several nieces and nephews.
In keeping with his wishes, Jerry will be cremated. There will be a memorial service at a later date.
Arrangements by Bailey-Kirk Funeral Home in Princeton. Online condolences may be shared with the family at www.bailey-kirk.com.
