Jerry Lee Brockman, age 79 of White Hall, passed away Saturday, June 22, 2019 at his home surrounded by his family after a long battle with liver disease. He was born December 15, 1939 in Steele, MO to the late John Virgil Brockman and Eva Overshine Brockman.
He was a retired pipefitter and welder with Local Union 665 and 155, United States Army Veteran serving in the 82nd Airborne Division. He was a founding member of the Funderburg Hunting Club. He was of the Baptist faith. Jerry was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend. He loved hunting, fishing, and gardening, which he shared with the entire community. He had a gentle spirit, compassionate heart, a wonderful sense of humor and lovingly liked to joke and tease with everyone. If you knew Jerry, he would tell you "Family is Everything"! One of his last moments he said "Isn't it beautiful?" in which we asked "What is beautiful, Daddy"? He replied "My Family". Go today and love your family.
In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by three brothers, Jim Brockman, Harry Cunningham and Frank Cunningham.
