Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, James H. and Christine Filson, his siblings, James Filson, Bill Filson, Peggy Anderson, Mary Ann Overby and David Filson.
Jerry was a man among men who loved God and fiercely loved his family and friends. He would do anything for anyone who needed him. He loved and adored his wife everyday of his life. They enjoyed camping and playing cards with their dearest friends. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and a great day of golf. He was a member of First Baptist Church Hendersonville. His absence will leave an unfillable hole in our hearts and lives, but we know he is with the Lord and we will rejoice to see him again one day.
