Jerry was a man of many accomplishments and roles throughout his life. Veteran of the US Army.  Successful career as the owner of Jerry Weems Accounting. Jerry's dedication to his work and his clients was unmatched.

Despite his professional success, Jerry's highest achievement was his relationship with God. He lived by the words of Psalm 91: "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." This verse held deep meaning for him and he shared it with others, believing that its truth could bring comfort and strength.

Jerry taught Sunday School classes, fervently prayed for the sick, and witnessed countless miracles through his faith. His commitment to serving others extended beyond church walls; he touched numerous lives with compassion and generosity.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 57 years Mary "Anita" (Carter) Weems, who brought joy to his life every day; their enduring love served as an inspiration to all who knew them; and his parents Charles E. and Glenna (Sherrell) Weems.
