Timothy (Tim) "Rooster" Jarrett, born December 4, 1960 in Massachusetts, passed away at his home in Selmer, Tennessee on July 15, 2025. He was a beloved figure in his community and will be remembered for his outgoing personality and fun-loving nature.
A proud graduate of Adamsville High School, Rooster devoted 28 years of his professional life to Aqua Glass Corporation in Adamsville, where he worked as a fabricator. His dedication to his craft was matched only by his affection for family and friends, who were the center of his world. He was known as a jokester, someone who could light up any room with laughter and joy and truly was the life of the party, spreading happiness wherever he went.
In addition to his career, Rooster found great pleasure in caring for his yard, finding solace and satisfaction in nature. His love for the outdoors reflected his easy-going nature and his commitment to enjoying life to the fullest.
Rooster is survived by his cherished family members, including his children: Jeannie Jarrett of Selmer, Tennessee, Timothy Lee Jarrett, II and wife Autumn of Ramer, Tennessee, and Felicia Sparks and husband Jeremy Bonee of Savannah, Tennessee. He leaves behind seven beloved grandchildren: Gabrielle Green, Galleria Green, Sabastain Jarrett, Everlee Jarrett, Aimley Jarrett, Lexi Sparks, and Camden Sparks, who were a source of immense pride and joy for him.
Rooster is also survived by his three sisters: Tina, Rebecca, and Deborah. He was blessed with close friendships, including his dear friend Larry Alexander of Adamsville and his best friend April Robertson of Selmer, both of whom shared many treasured moments with him.
Preceding Rooster in death were his parents, Lola Lavon and Irma Bryant Jarrett, who instilled in him the values of kindness and humor that defined his life.
Timothy (Tim) "Rooster" Jarrett will be remembered not only for his contributions to his profession and his dedication to his family but also for the laughter and warmth he brought to everyone around him. His legacy of love and joy will undoubtedly live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
