Jerry Wayne Wiley was welcomed into this world on September 7, 1942, in Worth County, Missouri, by his father, C. Wayne Wiley, and mother, Avesto Betty Ray Wiley, and was later joined by baby sister, Lois June Wiley, on May 1, 1945. Jerry lived a good Christian life.
At the age of eighty, he passed away at his home in Pensacola, Florida, on March 11, 2023, and was cremated so that his cremains could be returned to rest with his parents at the Grant City Cemetery in Grant City, Missouri.
Jerry graduated from Sheridan R-II School in 1961 and worked for Ford Motor Corporation in Detroit, Michigan and other automotive manufacturing places for many years. He later became an Over-the-Road truck driver and crossed the United States many times. When he was not working, he enjoyed fishing, hunting, dancing, and basketball. Jerry really just wanted everyone to have a good time.
Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, Wayne and Betty Wiley, and his sister, Lois Wiley Fletchall Rodrick, who passed in 2006, and friend, Ruth Kobbe Allen.
Left to remember him fondly are his niece, Darla Shelly Ladner, and countless friends: Dennis Warren of Pensacola, Florida, and many from Worth County, C. Ralph Kobbe, Larry Hibbs and Burl Huff, to name a few.
