Jerry Louthian Obituary
February 15, 1965 - June 8, 2022
CHILHOWIE, Va.
Jerry Dewayne Louthian, age 57, passed away on Wednesday, June 8, 2022, at the Bristol Regional Medical Center in Bristol, Tenn.
Jerry was born on February 15, 1965, and raised in Marion, Va., by his mother, Dorothy Stines and his late stepfather, Dave Stillwell. Jerry worked for 30 years at the IDC in Atkins, Va., and for 28 years at McDonalds until his retirement. Jerry's love for sports and collecting cards and matchbox cars was never ending. He competed in the Special Olympics. His infectious smile and laughter kept everyone else smiling. The biggest thing about Jerry was his faith in God, that he shared with everyone he met, and the fact that he never met a stranger.
Survivors include, his mother, Dorothy Stines; his brothers, Jimmy Louthian and wife, Michelle, John Louthian, and Eddie Louthian, all of Chilhowie; sister, Sherry Fillhart and husband, Shane, of Mount Vernon, Ohio; nieces, Keely Louthian, Tia Angelo, and Hannah Caywood; nephews, Jeffrey Louthian, Johnathan Louthian, Jeremy Angelo, and Trevor Caywood; and special friend, Jessica Mullinax.
Funeral services will be held 11 a.m., Saturday, June 11, 2022, at the Chilhowie Christian Church, with Pastor Darrell Martin officiating. Burial will follow at the Mountain View Cemetery in Chilhowie. The family received friends from 5 until 8 p.m. Friday, June 10, 2022, at the church. Expressions of sympathy may be sent to the family at www.bradleysfh.com. Bradley's Funeral Chapel is serving the Louthian family.

One of the dearest, sweetest fellow I ever had the pleasure of knowing. I ate McDonalds In Marion for years with coworkers, friends & family just to see Jerry. No matter how tough a day you were having Jerry could always make it better. He was a shining light in our world. He will be sorely missed by myself, my family, my friends & coworkers. He was truly one of a kind. Jerry no doubt sits at the right hand of our father In Heaven. Love you Jerry!!!
