Jerry Lynn

Gurganus

Jerry Lynn Gurganus (Red Beard) of Wichita Falls went to Heaven on September 11th 2021. Jerry was born on October 20th 1963 in Jasper, Alabama. He spent his childhood in Michigan, but came to Texas as soon as he could, where he remained a Texan for over 40 years. Jerry loved nature, fishing, and above all the Word of God. He spread the Word of God to all who would listen, often stopping to pray with any and all people he encountered in life.
Jerry is preceded in death by his father Edward Gurganus, three of his brothers; Jimmy, Billy, and Tony. He is survived by his mother Jimmie Skinner and his step-father Daniel Skinner, his long-time friend and only wife Paula Gurganus, his brother George Gurganus, his sister Tammy Kimling, his many cousins, and multitudes of brothers and sisters in Christ.
A celebration of his life will be held on September 25th at 1:00PM at the pavilion in Lucy Park.
In lieu of flowers, a donation in his name is requested to be made to Back to the Cross Discipleship Group and Bible Study or to The River Bend Nature Center of Wichita Falls.
