Jerry York Obituary

Mr. Jerry Wilson York, 80, was surrounded by his loving family when he stepped joyfully into his heavenly home on Sunday, June 4th, 2023. Jerry was born to Amos and Gladys York in Monroe, North Carolina August 7, 1942. He graduated from West Mecklenburg High School in 1960 and soon started his career at Gerdau Ameristeel where he was a loyal employee for 47 years. Jerry was a dedicated member of Faith Baptist Church where he served as a Deacon, Music Director, Adult Choir Director, Soloist and was lead singer for The Faith Baptist Quartet for over 50 years. His church family recently honored him for his years of service with a Jerry York Appreciation Day. His beautiful singing voice has blessed many over the years and his faith was a wonderful source of inspiration for those fortunate enough to know him. When Jerry wasn’t busy doing for others, he enjoyed playing golf, photography and was a talented calligrapher and artist. He also LOVED making personalized birthday and anniversary cards for his friends and family. He made sure everyone he knew received one on their special day. Jerry is preceded in death by his father, Amos York, stepfather and mother, Truman and Gladys Henderson. Brother-in-law Barry Friday. Sisters-in-law Patricia Alexander and Jean Howell.
