Obituary of JERRY Wayne ERNEST

Please share a memory of JERRY to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Jerry Wayne Ernest was welcomed to his eternal home on December 20, 2014. He was born in Henryetta, OK on October 17, 1950 to Louis and Eva Ernest and became Big Baby Brother to his Little Big Brother Larry Ray Arnel. Jerry grew up loving sports and graduated from Henryetta High School in 1968. It was the following year, in June, that he met and fell in love with the “Love of his life,” Carol Henshaw. She became his bride on December 25, 1969. He was known to say she was the best Christmas gift he ever received. In 1971 Jerry & Carol were blessed with their son, Brian Keith. Although the three of them were very happy and enjoyed building a life with each other, twelve years later in 1983, the Lord blessed the three of them with a new addition to their family, Leslie Nicole. The age difference of twelve years did not change the sibling dynamics for a big brother and his baby sister. Almost from the start they could argue and ban each other from their respective rooms and make up in the next moment. Most of all the four of them enjoyed a bond of love that could not be broken and only grew stronger each day. Jerry was preceded in death by his loving mother and father. He is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Carol; his son Brian and wife Becca of Sand Springs, OK; his daughter Nicole and her husband Daniel of Sapulpa, OK; his brother Larry and wife Mary Ann of Muskogee, OK; grandchildren Braden, Colson, Brylee, Lakelynn, Shelby and Brandi; step-grandchildren Bre, Josh and Rachel; and four great grandchildren. It was a good thing Jerry loved people because God blessed him with many he loved and that loved him because he is also survived by a loving mother-in-law, father-in-law, step-mother-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, cousins, great-nieces, great-nephews, great, great-nieces and numerous friends. Services will be held at 2:00 pm Tuesday, December 23, 2014 at New Journey Church. Visitation is Monday from 10:00 am until 9:00 pm.
