Jerry Allen Michael, age 78 passed away on December 13, 2025, in Tullahoma, Tennessee. He was born on August 15, 1947, in Selmer, Tennessee and spent his life devoted to working hard for his family, faith and helping others. A faithful member of the church of Christ.
Jerry was known for being able to fix anything. His tools were his treasure that he used to provide for family and help others that he cared for to fix everyone's needs. He would be right there to go to work, for whoever had a need with a broken piece. He could take things that were broken and make it new again. He was perfectly happy and content taking care of his property with pride. He loved it so and made it beautiful. He also enjoyed watching his horses, spending time at the barn, woodwork, sharing good stories and teaching others how to work on things. He loved his family dearly and cared for them so well. He brought happiness to them and so many around him. Jerry is survived by a son, Timothy Michael (Carla), daughter Michelle Weddington (Gerald), sister Cheryl Thomas (David), and cherished grandchildren, Haley Weddington, Cassie Welsh, and Cody Michael. He was also a dearly loved Uncle by many. He was proceeded in death by his loving wife Carolyn Michael of 58 years, his parents, Roy and Alline Michael, brothers, Virgil Michael, Roger Michael, and Robert Michael. A graveside service will be held on December 17, 2025 at 3:00 pm at Rose Hill Memorial Gardens in Tullahoma, Tennessee. Tullahoma Funeral Home is honored to serve the Michael Family during this time.
