Jerry Kizer Obituary

PONTOTOC - Jerry Dale Kizer, 57, passed away Friday, June 6, 2025, at NMMC-Pontotoc, MS. Jerry was a devoted husband of almost 38 years, a loving daddy, poppy, son, and brother. Those who knew him, knew he was as hardheaded as they come, a jokester by nature but was also secretly one of the most loving and tender-hearted people you could meet. An entrepreneur, on any given day you may find him operating heavy equipment or building something. He enjoyed taking road trips with his wife, spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his father, Roy Jack Kizer, stepmom, Brenda Kizer, father, Carl Jerry Mathis, and his brothers, Andy Kizer, Rickey Kizer, and David Kizer.
