Thurman V. Jarrell

We are deeply saddened to announce the Passing of Thurman V (TV) Jarrell. Thurman passed peacefully with his wife of 57 years, Luna, by his side. Born May 16, 1940, son of David and Athla Jarrell, and one of 14 children. Thurman and Luna have three children, Pam (DJ), Jerry (Usha), and Patty (Brian); four grandchildren, Nicole (Paul Self), Apryl (Zach Schemer), Trey Jarrell and Kristi Flanagan; along with two great grandsons, Tripp and Tucker Self. He is also survived by 4 brothers Robert, Frank, Harry and Donald and 5 sisters Mary, Betty, Linda, Peggy and Connie and many other family and friends. Thurman graduated Surrency High School in 1958 and at the age of 19, he moved to Jacksonville, swearing to never pick cotton or chip boxes again. Following a suggestion from his brother, Robert, Thurman started his career in the window screen industry at Southeastern Aluminum. Being highly motivated and driven, it did not take long for him to climb the ladder to Plant Manager, by the age of 21. With the help of his mentor, Paul Johnson and the blessing of Southeastern Aluminum, at the age of 25, Thurman left to follow his dreams. In the garage of the house he still lived in, Thurman founded AAA Screen Company, he followed his dream and for nearly 50 years was a very successful businessman. Thurman is a icon in the window screen manufacturing industry and was loved and respected by his peers. He loved his entire family and received satisfaction in helping everyone, sometimes to a fault. He was an inspiration to many. Please join the family on Friday night from 6 to 8 at the Hardage Giddens Chapel at 4115 Hendricks Ave. The service will be held Saturday, November 4 at 1 PM also at the Chapel, followed by interment at Greenlawn Cemetery. The family would also like to Thank the wonderful Doctors and Staff at Memorial ICU and Memorial Specialty Hospital. Thanks to All.
