Leon Jerry "Poppy" Obituary

Leon W. Jerry was born on August 26, 1947, in Lake City, Florida, to the late Kaiser Jerry and Leona Jerry. Leon was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. In 1968 he met his wife Carrie. They were joined in holy matrimony in 1969. From their union, two children were born. Leon's greatest joy came from spending time with loved ones. His sense of humor is something everyone could remember. Thanks be to God for the effectual fervent prayers of his wife and the body of Christ for his salvation. Leon humbly accepted our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ as His person savior on January 14, 2025.
