Mr. Jerry Earl Stone, Kennesaw, passed away Wednesday, January 10, 2021 at the age of 80. He was born in Atlanta to Earl and Mildred Stone on August 18, 1940.
Mr. Stone graduated from Southern Technical Institute with a degree in electrical engineering. He used his technology background throughout his secular career; however, his greatest passion was ministry. This passion led him to serve as a bi-vocational music minister in many Atlanta area churches over the years including Clear Springs Baptist; Kennesaw First Baptist; Milford Baptist; Johnson Ferry Baptist; Atkinson Road Baptist; Chattahoochee Baptist; and Alabama Road Baptist Church. Jerry also served at Thomasville Road Baptist Church in Tallahassee, Florida. He faithfully served Christ along with his wife and ministry partner of fifty-seven years, Doris Spruell Stone. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a doting grandfather and great-grandfather. His children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were the joy of his life.
He is survived by two daughters, Kathy (Jimmy) Slick and Jerilyn (Rick) Winther; brother, Paris Stone; eight grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
A Celebration Service will be scheduled at a later date.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Summit Baptist Church Children’s Scholarship Fund at 4310 Moon Station LN, Acworth, GA 30101
