Jerry Culpepper Obituary

I, Jerry W. Culpepper, 74, a Deep Creek native, passed away on September 17th, 2022. I leave behind my loving wife Debbie Craft Culpepper whom I love and will always love more than life itself. My daughter, Amy "Niki" Culpepper; whom I wish lived near so I could have watched grow up. My children: Carmen Joyner, her husband, Lee, and their son Dylan & stepdaughter Bethany, James W. Buffington, III "Jay", his wife Caroline and their daughters Brooke Logan and Kendall Rae, all of whom I have loved as my own. Everyone listed here was my family and made my life complete. These grandchildren brought joy and happiness to us from the day they were born.

I have tried to be a good person, a faithful husband (and cook) to Debbie, a supportive and loving father and grandfather, and a true and loyal friend. I also know that I have failed on occasion, but my intentions were always from the heart.

I want to thank my momma, Mary Parker Culpepper, and my daddy, Beverly Brooks Culpepper for bringing me into this world, and at this moment we are together again.

Finally, I want to thank the Supreme Being for allowing me to visit this world for a brief stay. Written by Jerry W. Culpepper

There will be a Celebration of Life held at a later date. Condolences may be expressed at www.simplycremationonline.com.

Mr. Jerry, after spending almost every morning with you at work for several years at pungo 711 you became my absolute favorite person and good friend. Colin and I will always remember the laughs and good times we shared over the years. I can't imagine the joy you must have brought to your family as well. I hope and pray for the sadness to subside from you being gone, for everyone, soon. Thank you for being the kind, funny, and accepting person who I will never forget! Love you man!

-your fellow deep creek native and friend,
