Jerry Wayne Love passed away peacfully at his home on September 29, 2026 surrounded by his loving family. Jerry was born on October 3, 1947, in Healdton, Oklahoma. He was raised in and around Tishomingo and Ravia, Oklahoma, and later served in the United States Marine Corps. Semper Fi.
After his time in the Marines, Jerry settled in Wichita Falls where he was a draftsman for the city. Then to Tom Bean, and Denison before eventually settling in Whitesboro, where he had been a resident since 1987.
Daddy Married Sheri Ann Love September 9, 1983.
Some of Jerry’s best friendships were formed while he was renting the old house on Charter Street. In 1995, he purchased the family home on White Street, a place he cherished deeply. He took great pride in his property, especially the St. Augustine grass, which he mowed faithfully. One of Renita’s favorite memories is mowing alongside her dad.
Many people may remember Jerry at EZ Mart between 3:00 and 5:00 in the morning, drinking coffee and visiting with those around him.
Jerry worked hard throughout his life and eventually retired as the Maintenance Manager for Lake Kiowa. He was a protector, a provider, and someone who could always be counted on.
Jerry renewed his faith in Jesus Christ, and that faith became an important part of his life.
He was preceded in death by his father, Alphus Love; his mother, Pearlie Love; his sisters Zelvia Bell Love and Etta Mae Love, his son, Phillip Neal Love; his dear friend Jim Duncan, whom he met during his years on Charter Street; and his cousin and “ride-or-die,” Tony Dewberry.
He is survived by his wife, Sheri Ann Love; his daughters, Amy Love, Zaundria Love, Geneva Love, Tracey Love, Amanda Love, and Renita Love Murphy; his son, Chad Wilson; and numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and cherished friends.

Protector, Provider, and someone who could always be counted on, doesn’t sum up this man but surely describes one of the good ones. May we all be so lucky as to have a man like this in our lives! Enjoy the mountain Jerry, as you deserve it! Best to all the family!
I met Jerry at Pearlie’s burial in Madill. I have a picture of him and other sisters. I was Zelvia Bell’s oldest daughter of 4 children. We were foster children and later adopted. Tom and I were placed together and Jeannie and Bonnie placed together. We grew up in Altus and even though not in same family knew each other. So much more to our story. I wanted to visit Jerry but time didn’t allow it. We kept in touch through FB. To me Tom, favored Jerry. He seemed like a very wonderful man. His obituary is a statement of how wonderful and caring he was. Rest in peace Jerry. Prayers for his family in their journey to healing. Blessings to and for his family.
