On Monday evening, May 20, 2024, Jerry Jones, our precious father, Papa, and beloved husband, left this world and entered the arms of his loving savior, Jesus Christ.  He was 72 years old.

Jerry was born on May 7, 1952 to Lloyd and Inez Jones.  He was younger brother of Charles Bell, whom proceeded him in death.

He was raised in Fountaintown, North Carolina where he made his life with his wife, Alice and two children, J.J. and Ashlea.
Jerry and Alice married on July 20, 1973.  This past year they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.  They were blessed with a long, full and loving marriage.   They were both members of Bethlehem Church where he and their family attended faithfully.  He was even there the day before his passing, enjoying his favorite thing, hearing, and talking about the Lord.

Jerry loved his family and friends, but his 6 grandchildren, Zachary, Gavin, Noah, Nolan, Allie and Ava, held a special place in his heart.  They will have a lifetime of memories to share of days on the golf cart, beach, and church.

Above all, Jerry loved the Lord.  There wasn't a time that you did not see or talk to him, that he did not bring up Jesus, scripture, heaven and all things holy.  He was a walking testament of faith.  Some of our favorite things that he would say was, "I can do nothing in and of myself,  it is only with the help of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that I can do anything."  He you often hear him say, "The Lord is in perfect control and My self-righteousness is as filthy as rags."  He knew that his life was worth nothing without the goodness of God's grace.

Thank you, Daddy, Jerry, Papa, for sharing that love with us.  You will be dearly miss but we know that you are now in paradise.

A celebration of life will be held at Bethlehem Church on Thursday, May 23rd at 7pm.
