Jerry was born in and lived his entire life in Northport, Ala. He did not have an easy life while on this earth but he was a survivor. He had a wonderful quirky sense of humor and could find something funny in any situation. He loved his family with a passion and they loved him in return. He loved football and was an avid Alabama fan. Jerry loved his little dog, Joe, his neighbors and loved hanging out with his ""good ole' boy"" friends. He loved his newly found church family at Forest Lake Baptist and was faithful in his attendance. Jerry will be missed by those who loved him and they draw much comfort in knowing that in his last few years, he turned to our Lord Jesus Christ in search of salvation. To God be the glory. Pallbearers will be Butch Kincaid, Douglas Thomaston, Craig Snyder, Kelly Kincaid, Ethan Thomaston and Kyle Powell. Honorary pallbearers are friends and neighbors of Birdway Drive subdivision and members of the Pastor's Sunday School class. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to Forest Lake Baptist Church – Nehemiah's Coffee Shop Ministry.
