Dear Ginger, Stephanie and Chris,
Jim and were so sorry to hear of Jerry's illness and death. We have fond memories of the time you all were here during his years on staff at FBC Marshall. Jerry was always supportive of the children's ministry and a tremendous help to me.  Of course we had a lot of laughs along the way!

In addition to his educational work, Jerry also made sure the church was immaculately clean and in top shape. I think this reflected his pride in our church and his intentional outreach to visitors. 

Everyone liked Jerry. Not long ago our plumber asked me about Jerry. He commented on how much he liked Jerry and enjoyed working with him on the facilities.

We wish for you grace, peace, and strength for the days ahead.
Love and sympathy,
Carolyn and Jim

My Uncle Jerry was the BEST Uncle a girl could ever have, and the BEST Great Uncle to my children. He supported me in everything, and every time I saw him he was happy to see me and my children. He and Aunt Ginger made a special trip to be here for him to be the Officiant in my wedding(there was no one else in the world that I wanted for such a special position on such a special day), and I will forever be grateful and blessed to have had him be the one to do so. I will forever hear his laugh and strong voice, and feel his unconditional love when I think of him, and I will forever remember all the great memories our family has had because of him. He was a rare gem. A wonderful man with a true heart of gold. And he loved his family with every ounce of his being. Rest in Peace my sweet "Uncle Jerish". Until we meet again.



Jerry was a beloved minister to all ages.  He loved and encouraged all of us and did his job of Minister of Education with excellence.  He and Ginger were very special to us, and we enjoyed many joyous occasions celebrating our 50th birthdays together!   Our heartfelt love and prayers go out to Ginger, Stephanie, Chris, and families.  You all have many wonderful memories of your husband, dad, and papa!  Cherish them.  We love you!

Dear Ginger and Family, though I knew Jerry had been fighting cancer for a long time, it was still a shock to hear of his passing.  I will miss him! 
Those of us at The Highlands were privileged to have Jerry and Ginger as residents and to have Jerry as our property manger for several years, with Ginger as his helper. He was active in our community, pleasant, and very responsive in his leadership roles as Board member, Board President, and then Property Manager.  I loved his smile, his positive attitude, and his willingness to be helpful when and where he could.
Rest In Peace, Dear Jerry, and may his family be comforted by the knowledge that he was a very good person who was loved and respected by so many!



We have many fond memories of Jerry and Ginger at FBC  MARSHALL.   Our hearts go out to you and know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers. 

Ginger, Stephanie, Chris and Family,
Words cannot begin to  express how sorry we are to hear of the passing of Jerry.  What fond and sweet memories we have of him during y’all’s time in Marshall.  He was one of the corner stones of the church.  Seldom do Brent and I talk about FBC Marshall that the Spivey’s are not mentioned.  So thankful for his ministry, love of the Lord and friendship to all.  You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers!
Love to all, The Sipe’s

Jerry baptized Michael, our youngest child. Michael chose Jerry because of his smile. He thought he looked happy and kind! Leave it to a child to see the heart of a man!
We loved Jerry because he always loved our church family more! God bless you Ginger and family! 

Jerry and Ginger were our neighbors for several years.  Our back yards connected and we had many conversations over the fence. Our grandkids loved them because Jerry was always playing with them. One day our four year old grandson was helping Bobby clean the yard and he was throwing all the rocks over the fence to Jerry’s yard.  He really was proud he was helping.  When we realized what he had done, we had him go to Jerry’s  yard to get them picked up.  We all had a good laugh about that and my grandson learned a good lesson.  Jerry and Ginger were wonderful neighbors and so active in our church! Will miss them!

Jerry was kind, gentle, loving and fair. He was my mentor, my idol, my rock. He rests now in the hands of the Healer.                       Still, my heart breaks. 

Jerry was  loved by so many of us who knew him when he served at First Baptist Church in Marshall, Texas. He served our Lord well, all the while making lifelong friends who will forever remember his smile, his wit, and his precious spirit.  He was a man you could talk to, dine with, and play games with; he will always be a part of our greatest times of fellowship.  Love to Ginger, Stephanie, Chris and the rest of the family.

Dear Ginger, Stephanie and Chris, 
We are so sorry Jerry lost his battle with cancer but so happy that he is with Jesus. There are so many fond memories we have of all of you from your time in Marshall.  I told Jerry often that he was the first minister of education that I ever liked. He was a wild and crazy guy and a spritual giant. He always had words of wisdom to share humorously. We love all of you very much and wanted you to know how much you all mean to us. May God give you strength to get through the coming days and comfort you with your memories of Jerry. 
Love to all,
Dana and Tommy Haden

Ginger, Stephanie and Chris,
It was an honor to serve with Jerry! He was so very caring—a true servant of God!  He set a wonderful example of a godly man. We are so sorry for your loss!
Love,
Lynn & Kim Getsay 

What a fun-loving and wonderful friend was Jerry.   Even now we cannot help but smile when we think of him.   Jerry was not only super smart, he was also filled with the joy of the Lord  - and it showed!  We will miss him. 

Jerry served for a number of years at First Baptist here in Marshall, Tx.  He was a true man of God, with a HUGE servant’s heart.  He was funny and friendly. He always thought of every detail and made sure everything was being done that could be done in the many situations which arose.  He would drop whatever he was doing at a moment’s notice to help wherever and whenever he saw the need. I have so many happy memories of him and his family, Ginger, Stephanie, and Chris. I’ve missed them over the years since they’ve moved on, but certainly have not forgotten them, or their impact on my life. I have no doubt Jerry fought through this cancer as much and as long as he could, but now he is HOME.  My heart-felt love goes out to his family. I will be thinking of you and remembering you all in my prayers!  Love, Betty Banks

Jerry was my oldest cousin, and the nicest and kindest too.  But a real man, with a big big heart. have lots of younger memories of him, all are good. he will be so missed. I loved him. but I know he is with the Lord now.  Robbie McCurdy

Uncle Jerry was a strong, kind, amazing man. He would do anything for his family. He was a hero and the closest thing to a saint I’ve ever met. He is missed beyond words by his whole family and his courage, love, and faith will always be remembered and cherished. 

Jerry was a gentle soul with a heart of gold. I always felt his support and love no matter what. I knew if I needed him all I had to do was pick up the phone and he would be there. He is my brother and my heart.

Go with God Jerry.  I will always remember you as a kind soul with a pleasant thing to say.  Some of my earliest memories are of you and Ginger and your laughs and kindness.  I hadn't seen you in years, but I'm sure you were the same person that you were the last time I saw you.  Say hello to your dad and mom for me, and I'll see you again!

So sorry for the loss of a Great man !!{Glad we  got to meet him!!! Rest In Peace!!!!

Jerry was such a lovely man, a good friend and a wonderful member of our community. He was a great minister with such a giving spirit. He always had a warm smile for everyone.  He will be sorely missed but he will be a welcome saint into God's kingdom and we will meet again. 
RIP my friend. 

Jerry was a wonderful man who will truly be missed. 
Prayers and love to his family and friends who are mourning his loss, but cherishing many memories.

Papa was the reason I love and appreciate The Beatles. His wonderful taste in music and his kind heart taught me so much. I can still hear his laugh and always felt so loved when we were all together. Him and I had fun adventures, whether it involved finding and picking up golf balls or being encouraged to try horseback riding for the first time! I was always so honored to know someone as brave and genuine as Papa. I’m thankful for his service, for what he always did for his family, and mostly for being able to be his granddaughter. We love you so much, Papa. Can’t wait to hug you and listen to Eleanor Rigby when I see you again! 

Jerry was a wonderful friend, co-worker, and neighbor.  He was a dedicated servant of the Lord and graciously served those around him.  Jerry and Ginger are part of many happy memories of mine of our years living and working together. I look forward to our reunion in Glory. I send my love and prayers to Ginger, Stephanie, and Chris and their families.

These two are from our house, Uncle Walter’s

I will never think of Jerry without seeing a smile or without a strong feeling of God and Family. I am so sorry that we cannot come together and that you have to go it alone without the extended family but please know that we are with you in spirit with all of our love. 

Roxanne, Rochelle, Rhonda,  Ronnie and family.

It was so good to see Jerry last summer at reunion he was such a sweet soul and loved everyone . He will surely be missed .
