I had the pleasure of working with Jerry at Atlanta Communities. He was always so kind and sweet anytime he came in or called. He will be missed, that is for sure. Praying for peace for the family. Rest in peace, friend. -Kathy Leigh Spear
Troop 277 was very lucky and honored to have Jerry help as a leader. We are all still in shock and send our love to the Woodham family.
Jerry was a and partner in crime when we were kids in Headland and then when we were roommates in Troy. I never get tired of reminiscing about our many (mis)adventures because it always makes me smile. I still consider him one of my closest friends ever so this news was especially devastating to me. My heart goes out to Shoanna, the boys, and the rest of his family.
May your heart and soul find peace and comfort.
Shoanna, you and the boys will be in our thoughts and prayers. Jerry was a good friend to us and we will miss him dearly.
Shoanna, Jake and Brett- Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss… We are praying for you during this difficult time.
A wonderful person who is now an Angel.
