Jerry Louis Thomas

Jerry Louis Thomas's earthly journey began on April 24th, 1957 in Sylacauga, Alabama to the parents of Argentine Thomas and Bobbie Jean Wilson Thomas.  Jerry received his formal education in the Talladega County School system and attended B. B. Comer Memorial High School, Sylacauga, Alabama.  

Jerry left Alabama in the late 80’s to make Tennessee his home for more than twenty years.  While in Tennessee, Jerry worked in the Textile industry for many years. Later he relocated back to Alabama where he was employed with America Paper for three years. 

Jerry had a passion for fishing. If he could go seven days a week, that’s where you would find him sitting on the banks fishing.  During football season Jerry loved cheering on the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Jerry departed this walk of life on October 7th, 2022 under the care of St. Vincent Medical Center East, Birmingham, Alabama.  He was preceded in death by his father, Argentine Thomas, brother, James Edward Thomas, grandfather, Dennis Wilson, aunt, Mary E. Thomas, and uncle, Roosevelt Thomas.
