In Loving Memory of Jerry Underwood Jr. - 12-20-62 - 8-16-24.
Jerry Underwood Jr. entered eternal rest on Friday, August 16, 2024 surrounded by family and friends in Branson MO.
He leaves behind his father, Jerry Underwood His three sisters: Michele Underwood Dena Underwood Aicklen (Greg) and Carla Polizzi (Chris) and his longtime girlfriend Angela M Turnage.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Carole Sturm Underwood Hildreth and his wife, Rita Underwood.
As a young man he was quiet and reserved. He grew into a loving and kind man who cared deeply for those closest to him. He was a helper, a friend, and a great companion.
He loved cars, piddling with wood working and making crafts. He enjoyed a good old Western movie and was very patriotic.
When sharing stories of his childhood he would tell Angela how much he enjoyed fishing at the camp with his dad. As he grew up he held many jobs throughout his life. After getting paid his very first check he was so proud he bought his baby sister Carla her first bike. One of his many acts of generosity and kindness. His riches weren't measured in dollars they were measured in acts of service and love.
He seemed to have a great ability to court and take care of the ladies in his life. Angela shared that he loved taking care of her and she loved taking care of him. They had a great relationship and he will be greatly missed by her. As a family we want to express our deepest appreciation for the love she showed him and being there for him through his recent health decline.
Jerry M Underwood Jr. was a quiet gentleman who had a life that was just enough for him. He was happy and loved Jesus, his momma, his daddy and his family and friends very much.
Based on his wishes there are no planned services. Jerry will be missed and forever loved by us all.
Cremation services are in the care of Snapp-Bearden Funeral Home & Crematory, Branson.
