Carol, I am so sorry to hear about Jerry. I know a piece of you died with him and I know your heart is breaking, but there are so many people who love you and will be there for you. 
Jerry was a great person and I have many memories of you and him. 
I will continue to lift you up in prayer. 
You are now a member of what I refer to as “The almost 50 club. Elvin and I were almost married 50 years when Covid took him. 
I promise you it will get easier as time passes and he will always be with you in your heart. 
I love you. Please call if you want to talk or just want someone to listen.

My sweet Jerry, 
It is such a blessing to know you and Carol. You would always brighten my day knowing I would get to see you, and  wouldn’t trade those days for the world. Thank you for being so kind and lovable. You’re a true gem.

We are so sorry to hear about Jerry.  He was so kind to our family.  He helped us out so much when family members passed.  He went out of his way to make sure my brother and sister were laid to rest with my parents. He prepared the graves for my grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, and siblings. He really was such a Blessing to our family. We sure will be keeping you all in our prayers.  Again, we are so sorry for your loss.

Sweet Jerry! It was a pleasure being able to take care of you on 10t3. You always made the shift better and we’re such a joy to take care of during your stays here. During such a hard time you fought so hard and were such an inspiration with your positive attitude. I’ll miss hearing “hey buddy” when I walked in your room. You will be missed and forever loved by me and all of 10t3. 🤍  I know you’re up there with your warm blankets drinking coffee with two creams or two diet cokes.🤍
-Emma Hampton, RN 10t3

My sweet Jerry Price! It was such a gift to be able to take care of you while you were on 10T3. While the circumstances of our meeting weren’t ideal, the chance to know you was a true blessing. You were dealt a very long and hard road, but you never became bitter or gave up hope. Your outlook on each day was truly inspiring and seeing you always made me smile. You will forever be remembered and missed and loved. One of the most incredible people I’ve ever had the privilege to know. Thank you for touching my heart. Rest easy. ❤️

Jerry was one of the first people to welcome me at New Hopewell Baptist Church in 2003. I had never felt more welcome at any church that I attended. Jerry was a true friend and a brother to me. I am just one of the many who loved him and will miss him. I will always remember and cherish the times we spent together. As he would say, Love you man,

One of the best of the best. Jerry was a very knowledgeable person. He was always very helpful to someone in need.

Truly blessed to have known Jerry Price. I pray God mercy and grace for all of Jerry's family.

I am so very sorry for the loss of Jerry. He was always there to lend a helping hand when needed. I will always remember his & Carol's presence when our Ryan passed away.  Truly he loved God, his family and his community and it showed in the way he lived his life.

Please accept my deepest condolences. Jerry was my Mom's, Mary Ruth, first cousin. He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to tease her and she loved the interaction. Jerry served his family, community, and the Lord in all the best ways. Now he can rejoice in a Heavenly body. May the Lord Bless and keep his family and friends.

Carol, Meredith, and family, 
We are truly so sorry for your loss. We’ve enjoyed having Jerry as our neighbor. Please reach out if we can help in anyway. Sending love and prayers!

To Carol & Meredith and the rest of the family,
Jerry was a great person. We here at Knoxville Seed enjoyed it when he would come around, especially when he would bring one of his beautiful granddaughter's .. He was a great Papaw!!!
 He always had a great story and when he and Ernie would get together the stories were hilarious.. 
We just wanted to send our deepest sympathies and condolences to you and say that he will truly be missed by many.....
Sincerely.
Friends from Knoxville Seed!!!

I’m so sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing…he was one of my long time customers at The Peddler in Gatlinburg. Only liked me to wait on him and his family which always made me feel so special…again, im so sorry❤️

Jerry was a kind, loving man.  He was always helping others. This world would be a better place if everyone thought and responded as he did.  It was special seeing the love he had for his family. When his granddaughters were little they didn't need to walk  because he carried them everywhere.  He will be missed here but heaven is rejoicing.

He and Carol along with Meredith and Adam are a very special family. 
God bless them as really remembered the time he and Carol along with other church couples watched the Super Bowl in 2017. Had a blast with them as one of my most fond memories. 
May God bless Carol, Meredith, Adam, and Caroline and Juliette.
As He will heal and love them so very much and beyond. 
Psalm 23:1-6

My thoughts and prayers to Carol, Meredith, Adam, Caroline, and Juliette:

 I remember the time seeing Jerry and Carol downtown with Meredith in her arms even then you couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces.  

I came home one night walking up my ramp and this red dot circling around me and thought I was about to be shot, and my cell phone rings and Jerry is belly laughing telling me that was him playing with his new site... and he's a half mile away...

 Jerry was a smiling, thoughtful, funny, and helpful, person that has always been there for me and so many folks, he will be missed but never forgotten.  

Prayers to the family

I really don't know how to put into words what Jerry meant to me. He was someone I looked up to.  Both as a friend and someone I wanted to be like. I remember Jerry telling me.  Where he came from to the things he had now. And how God has blessed him so much. He told me that everything would come back around to you. I went on several hunting trips with Jerry. And no matter where we went. Jerry never cared whether he got anything or not. He just Wanted for everyone to be together and have fun. Jerry helped me more times then I can remember.  Carol, merideth and Adam im.so sorry for your loss. He was a great man. And so sorry for your loss.

Jerry, a good man? YES, Jerry was kind, generous to a fault, loving, 🥰 hard working, always striving to do what was right, ready at a moments notice to help anyone with anything, and give you his unsolicited advice which made any job easier if you listened. 
At two years old he was always underfoot, fascinated with an older brother who had more important things to do. But we did learn to play together and I remember when we were both older and I had moved to California he and his family came to visit. We went to San Francisco and drove down highway one along the coast.
When my wife Janet and I were first married we spent a lot of time at their house and I would marvel at all the multitasking he did running his business. I have a lot of memories of this wonderful Christian man who was my brother. We love you Jerry and will see you again one day!

Carol , Meredith and Family,

 Our heart aches for your family during this incredibly difficult time. Please know that we are here for you, offering our deepest condolences . He always took care of us. Jerry will be missed by all who  knew him.

To Carol, Meredith, Adam, Caroline, and Juliette:

     Jerry was a true ambassador of hospitality and will be missed.  When I moved to Tennessee, he was the first person I met when I got to town.  He had extended his good nature towards me and I trusted him to follow through when I rented a house from him.  He was a man of his word and loved his family unconditionally.  

     My heart hurts for all of you.  But, trust that Jerry's memory will live forever in everyone's heart that ever met him due to his huge and good natured personality.  I went through some very tough times and could always count on Jerry to raise my spirits, bring a smile to my face, and make me laugh until I cried.  He will always be remembered and always be missed.

-Chris McGee

I loved this guy so much he was the best boss anyone could have! He was the most generous and caring person i know he would do all he could to help someone. I worked for him for 22 years and he was always the same never changed for anyone. He was a mentor and a second dad to me i will miss him so much . Im sure God will get a kick meeting this guy.  I love you Jerry !

So sorry for the Price family's loss. Jerry was a wonderful man. One of my earliest memories in life is him letting our New Hopewell (VBS?)  class come to his farm & hold & pet baby pigs, & again him helping out the New Hopewell youth with a greased pig chase when i was a young teen. I know Mom & Dad thought a great deal of Carol & Jerry. Now he's in heaven with my Daddy worshipping Jesus. Sending prayers love & hugs to the Price family!

The world lost one of a kind best person I’ve known   He is my hero.  There is a huge void in the world.  I think of you every day and that will continue as long as I’m on this earth.  As we say in the Navy “Fair Winds and Following Seas”. 

Carol, Meredith, Adam, Caroline, and Juliette I am so sorry.   You were very blessed to have had such a great family and Jerry was the glue.  I know he wants the best for you all as do I.  Anything I can do. Let me know.

Carol Vera and I were saddened to hear of Jerry’s passing .I have Jerry to thank for my lawn care business getting a good start when he took me to Denso with him it was a good 18 years.Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.                      

David and Vera Northern

“Hey Buddy”.   I still hear it. . He was such a fun,colorful and generous soul. My heart goes out to you Carol and the rest of your dear family. Many fond memories from family out here in California🩷. 

Jennifer

Jerry was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. He has done so much for the community of South Knoxville. He was a great friend and he will certainly be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. Jerry was a wonderful man.  I remember our last conversation we had before he got real sick.  I love you guys...you all are very special to me.

Many prayers and uplifting thoughts. I will always remember him taking Meredith and I do the dove hunts on his property among our countless sporting events, and many other things.

Jerry definitely left his mark on this earth.  He will certainly be missed.  He was one of a kind.  Prayers for God's peace for Carol, Meredith and family.
