Jerry Davis

Jerry D. Davis, 76 originally from Lenoir City, TN, transitioned to his heavenly home on March 16, 2024 in Madisonville, TN., surrounded by his family. He was born on December 10, 1947 to the late Robert and Margaret Davis.

Jerry loved spending time with his family. He had a passion for horses and always had his dog Bandit with him. He enjoyed watching Western TV shows. One of Jerry's life- long enjoyments was trading. He would have celebrated his 59th wedding anniversary with his wife Darlene in July, something he was proud of. He was a man of faith that was thankful for all God has done for his family.

"Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord" (King James Version, 2 Cor. 5: 6-8).
