Jettie Sumner Obituary
87, of Tampa, went to the angels Dec. 18, 2024. My bestie for 33 years was born in Lawty, FL, Oct. 28, 1937. Predeceased by parents Crockett Cecil and Viola Mae Sumner, siblings, Edward, Carl, and Sandy; and son, Tommy. Left to treasure our memories are sons, David, Alex; and longtime partner, Vicki Schwarzenbach. Jettie lived simply, loved completely. He was gentle, thoughtful, loving, giving. Worked hard always. A retired carpenter, but a man of all trades. Animals gravitated to Jettie. They all sensed how special he was. A son, brother, nephew, father, grandfather, great grandfather. Rest peacefully my love until we are together again.
