Jerry Lynn Garner, age 78, passed away peacefully on January 22, 2025. Jerry was a man of great passion and simple joys, and his life was a testament to love, loyalty, and laughter.

Jerry's memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to share in his journey.
