Mr. Jerry Lynn LeFevers, 66, of Jackson, died Wednesday, December 17, 2025, at Piedmont Newnan Hospital.

Born May 10, 1959, in Murphy, North Carolina, he was a son of the late Dewey H. LeFevers and the late Frankie L. Blackwell LeFevers. Jerry was deeply devoted to his faith and regularly attended Rehoboth Baptist Church. He was a caring and devoted husband, father, brother, Pawpaw, and friend-always willing to help others in any way he could. Known for his generosity, Jerry would give anyone the shirt off his back. He excelled as a mechanic and was highly skilled in paint and body work. In addition, he was a gifted guitar player with a true passion for playing the blues. In addition to his parents, Jerry was preceded in death by a daughter, Jacquelyn LeFevers, a brother, Michael LeFevers, and a sister, Deborah LeFevers.

Survivors include his wife of 42 years, Jaynel LeFevers; son, Jesse LeFevers (Nicole); daughter, Daphney Riddle (Jason); brothers, Kenny Blackwell (Angela), Dewey Arnold LeFevers (Sherion), and Eddie James LeFevers (Lisa); grandchildren, Christopher, Dacia, Ethan, Chandler, and Ezra; and several nieces and nephews.
