  1. Dear Dena and Jerry Dean-
    My heart aches for your loss but we rejoice he is healed and no more suffering. I am so grateful for the memories and time my family shared with him and the rest of the Singleton-Lyda family. Our cookouts, lake trips and weekend meals together are precious memories. Big Jerry was one of a kind and very special to my family. I love you guys and will be praying for the days ahead to bring peace and comfort.

  2. Deana and family,
    I’m sorry to learn of the loss of Jerry. I remember when you two were married. I went to school with Jerry and his brothers. He always drive a nice shinny automobile. He was a prince of a guy, always friendly and outgoing.
    May the Lord fill you with His grace at this time and the days ahead.
    David M King

  9. Jerry Senior was always an elder I looked up to. A down to earth non judgmental man. He stood for what was right, no matter what other people thought. A gentleman and a hard working entrepreneur and in my opinion the epitome of self made success at its very finest. We Frank &Tracy and Cooper Foster continue to pray and uplift the Singleton family, as they navigate through this time of such great loss.
