Jerry Pulliam Obituary

Augusta, GA – Entered into rest on Sunday, August 17, 2025, Jerry Pulliam, Jr., 55.

Everybody needed a Jerry in their life. He never forgot a face, and if he gave you a pinky wave, you were truly special. Jerry was known by everyone for his radiant smile, loving spirit, and quick, funny remarks. But to his family, he was even more - a man whose love of music, Disney movies, riding his three-wheel bike, cheering, and being near the water brought joy to everyone around him. To know Jerry was to experience a love as close to God's love as one could feel here on Earth.

Family members include:

His loving parents: Wayne and Nancy Pulliam
His maternal grandmother: Barbara Hudson
His brothers: Roff Pulliam (Jennifer Perkins), Tommy Pulliam (Shenae)
Nieces and nephews: Hudson Pulliam (Tressa), Aldon Pulliam (Bella), Logan Perkins, Adilyn Pulliam, Tucker Pulliam, and Jocelin Green (Brandon)


The memorial service will be held Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. at Thomas Poteet & Son Funeral Directors with Pastor Nick Carnes officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Special Olympics, https://support.specialolympics.org/a/donate-in-your-state an organization close to the family's heart and one that brought Jerry a lot of joy.

The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service on Thursday at 1:00 P.M. at Thomas Poteet & Son Funeral Directors, 214 Davis Rd., Augusta, GA 30907 (706) 364-8484. Please sign the guestbook at www.thomaspoteet.com

I used to pick Jerry up when he was a part of Georgia TASC. His family lived in Thomson. He was always a happy and joyful young man. He was never in a bad mood and loved everyone. My sincere condolences to your family.
