Mr. Jerry Allred I am so sorry to hear of your passing from this world. I recommended you to my best friend who has been wrongly accused in the wrong place at the wrong time. You knew all the ways to show that someone was lying during deposition. You believed in truth and justice and was the guy that came through time and time again for so many people when they were in need of an intelligent and wise man.  Your talents and great wisdom is going to be so missed by all of us.  You will live on forever in the memory of us all and have surpassed the constraints of this world into a world that is much better and much more alive than this one.  All this has come as a great shock to me to find out this late that you are no longer with us. You will always have my love and total respect.

Jerry and I shared a love and respect for the law, justice, and double-oaked bourbon. More importantly, he defended my son when he was a student aviator and wrongly accused. He was one of the good guys!

Our distance was vast, a whole continent, but you were and will always be "a kindred spirit." My fun, teasing, lovely friend with bronze skin, twinkling brown eyes and auburn hair. I measured men by you and counted myself honored to be in your company for a season and loved by you until you left this earth to be with God.

We will miss you deeply Jerry, we will treasure our time with you, all the poems, tricks, and jokes. Football games will never be the same! Thank you for your friendship.

May you fly high with the angels and rest in Gods eternal peace.

It has been so hard for me to think of what to write to you because it still doesn't seem real. I still feel like I can text or call you about this new poem I read or found that I think you'll just love. The last time we talked you told me that I have a way with words and to never lose that or give up on writing. We talked for hours that night about books, poems, short stories, and even famous essay's. You also told me that we were fighters. To always keep fighting and never give up. That we are the kind of people who overcome all Obstacles thrown our way. I'll forever hold those words dear. The picture we took will forever stay by my bedside and I promise you now I'll never give up on writing. You told me words are the greatest weapon and the most revealing character of a person. Yet, here I am at a loss for words because you aren't here. I keep thinking "okay, Kristin just write what a great man he was and how he will never be forgotten" but those aren't possibly enough to describe you, your humor, or your heart. You were an undescribable man, a completely original that broke the mold. You stood for what you believed in and loved so fiercely. You meant so much to me and that will NEVER go away. My dear, sweet Uncle Gerbs. I'll go on each day with laughter in my heart just for you, find the fun of each day just for you, and always, ALWAYS write just for you. I love you, Uncle Jerry. "Here's to the moments" that will forever live on and the memory of a man that no other could live up to. I can't express how much my heart hurts but I can express how much love I have for you and how much light you brought into my life. Forever and always, Uncle Jerry, forever and always.

You were a mentor and friend to so many of us.  I will always miss you and think of you.  No more sickness.  You are with God now!!!Love you always, Clara Smith

Jerry, you were a mentor and good friend to so many of us.  Your heart and your sense of humor were your best assets.  I will always miss you and think of you often.  You're with God now.  Clara Smith,Pensacola, Florida

Dearest Jerry:  I never met but feel I have; u have a very special family - may God have u in total peace, love, joy and perfect health, rest and live now - u know how loved u are...

Dearest Sweet Man:  may God keep u in his perfect place with love, peace and joy -

Unfortunately I never had the pleasure of meeting Jerry, but my brother Scott spoke highly of him on many occasions.  They knew each other in junior high.  I have known Jerry's sister since high school and my sincerest thoughts are with her and the rest of Jerry's family.  Ann Davis

JRED! RIP. You will always bring a smile to my face, but hearing I lost a buddy brings a tear today!

I met Jerry at Clubs Jr. High back in the 60's, I knew then, he had what it took to go far in life. Over the years our paths crossed several times as I came and went from Pensacola. When I came back to stay here 15 years ago I looked him up and he was happy to meet with me to discuss old times. I always admired his intelligence and humility and respected his attempt to help others through the profession he chose. I was extremely saddened to hear of his passing, he was a good man, and I am glad to have known him.

This is a sad day for the legal community. This man was not only one of the best attorneys I've ever seen in front of a jury, but he was a mentor and friend and one of the few people who took time out of his busy schedule to help teach a new attorney (me) more than 18 years ago. We need more like him and I know he will truly be missed. Prayers to his family and to the entire legal community in Pensacola and throughout Florida. He fought for his clients with intelligence, passion, and humor.

Sorry to hear of your passing. I worked with Jerry at the SAO for many , many years . Lots of fun times. Prayers being sent to you and your family and friends.

I recently met Jerry and we became immediate friends. I loved the poet in him, and he responded to the artist in me. I really appreciated him texting me  an entire poem on that little old tech phone he had.  He always made me laugh~He was kind, thoughtful and encouraging.  I will miss him and so grateful to have known him.  You will never be forgotten.

We certainly made a good team, Jer. The best team. I am thankful for the years we spent together at 801, the family vacations, the gatherings at the Bagdad and lake houses, so many precious memories that I'll cherish always. Thank you for the sweet card and wonderful final conversations; having these help my heart break a tiny bit less. Rest easy, old friend.

Jerry treated me like we had known each other my entire life. He always answered or returned my calls, no matter what else was going on in his life. He loved my kids without hesitation, and that will
never be forgotten. From the Mardi Gras parade, to my 30th birthday party... Jerry was a huge part of some of my best memories. I came along a little late, but Jerry took me as family. JTA was one of the good guys in life.

I first met Jerry back in the '90's.  He was such a wonderful and helpful man and he always had a kind word for me.  I found him to be a very interesting character and I enjoyed knowing him.  Jerry, rest in the arms of Jesus...until we meet again, you will be missed.

I was a classmate of Jerry's from Jr. High through PHS (67) but didn't have the pleasure of knowing him until he and my husband became friends through their law practices in 90s. I found Jerry to be bright, witty and a sweet person whom Michael and I enjoyed and came to love. We are so thankful that God made sure that Jerry found the peace and assurance of His love and the promise of eternal life. He was a sweet man and a good attorney who cared about his clients. Our prayers are with his family and friends whom he left behind. May God comfort us all in his passing with the knowledge that he is enjoying his new surroundings and good health.

Jerry--you are already missed by those of us who enjoyed your wisdom, humor, and courage to be yourself.  I met you over the telephone in the early 80's when I was handling one of your appeals (the infamous Lipman case!) in Tallahassee for the AG's office. We finally discussed plans on meeting in person at a conference in Gainesville and had plans to ask other attendees to id us--but as soon as I walked into the restaurant and saw a long-haired, red-bearded guy standing on a table waving a pitcher of beer and leading scores of prosecutors in a rugby song, I knew I'd found you Jerry!  We had many good times together and you were instrumental in persuading me and Terry to come to Pensacola.  Thanks for your support, and we will miss you as will everyone else who knew you.  Hope to see you on the other side . . . .

I had the privilege of knowing Jerry since when he worked with Curtis Golden, and Jerry was a wonderfully unique character, who always was straight-forward; fair-minded, and quite tolerant.  He often seemed to be grinning about the Grand Comedy of Life, and it was always just fun to talk with Jerry, on any subject.   Beneath what sometimes appeared to be a somewhat Bohemian exterior was an intelligent, articulate, and very effective trial advocate; no matter which side he happened to take. I always admired Jerry because it seemed like  he practiced law and lived in his own way, following his own special path, without ever trying to emulate any one else.  I will definitely miss you, Jerry!

I always had a fun time when I was around Jerry. I would call him "Cap'n Alllred", and he would reply with a hearty "Aaargh Matey"! I will miss him.

Jerry you were a great teacher, great story teller and a great friend. You will forever be missed!  To his family my heart goes out to you in this time of loss. I pray that God keeps you close and washes away your tears and eases the pain of your torn hearts!God bless you Jerry and Family!

Jerry I thank you for our friendship and mentoring when I was a young state attorney. I appreciate all those discussions through the years on law and football. I will miss hearing Johnny Reb from you. You are missed!

Jerry

Everything about you will be missed by many. The privilege of knowing you and sharing many conversations of the past, present, and future are invaluable.
As you said to me last week, "When we meet on the other side, we will have fun". We had a ton of fun on this side as well. 

God Bless.

I ran into Jerry a few days before Thanksgiving and the conversation we had was such a blessing to me.  He told me about his experience of dying previously, and what peace he had after having seen the contrast of hell and the gate outside heaven.  He was so excited to have been given a second chance, and he wanted to make sure that I and anybody else who would listen to him also took advantage of the gift of salvation.  I'm so sorry for the loss of this great man to us here on earth, but so very happy to know he still lives on!  I'll see you there, Jerry!  Be sure to try some of my mom's homemade pies - they're perfect there!

He kept at true good humour's mark, the social flow of pleasure's tide: He never made a brow look dark, nor caused a tear, but when he died. Thomas Love Peacock.

We will surely miss you my friend,I always will remember our last conversation.   Keith  and  Sonja Parker

Jerry will be missed by my whole family, and myself.  He was a good man.

Jerry lived his life to the fullest; did what he wanted when he wanted.  What a guy!  Your brother Jim and I have been brothers for 54 years since meeting at Darlington.  I recall your visiting with Jim and me at PC.  We went to the Falls, drank beer and listened to music on a portable player.  You playfully kidded me about my stuttering which I know was in a loving way.  I am so appreciative of the personal note and picture you sent to me last year and will hold both near.  I miss you my friend and brother.

Jerry, I feel so fortunate to have talked to you last week and tell you that I love you. Thank you for calling me. You are a great friend and I will miss you greatly. I have your picture and your poem that you gave me and I cherish that. Love you till I see you again. Love Rebecca and Chris

Jerry, old friend...  I will miss our chats across the aisle. Both sides of the aisle. You are greatly missed.

I had the pleasure working with him.  I was intrigued by the book he was going to write and couldn't wait for my copy.   I will miss you Jerry as well as your sense of humor.  RIP

I admired Jerry tremendously and am so sorry that he died so young. I regret that I didn't spend more time with him. He was a wise person and a talented and caring defense lawyer. More time with him would have added wisdom to my life and could have improved my education as a defense lawyer. He will be missed and remembered by many and we will all be diminished by his absence.

A gladiator that fought for both the State and the Defense with equal vigor and determination. You will be missed. God bless.
