Jerry D. Linville, 71, of Mountain View, Arkansas, went to be with our Lord in the early morning hours of December 14th, 2024. He was born March 25th, 1953, in Lepanto, Arkansas, to Joda Lee and Lilly Lois (House) Linville.
Jerry was a family man. He married his wife April 17th, 1975 and together they had four beautiful children. In his free time, Jerry was an outdoorsman. He enjoyed hunting and fishing: many times doing those with his best friend, Alvin Alcorn. He liked horseback riding with his children and grandchildren, spending a lot of time on the back of a horse just riding with no destination in mind.
Jerry really was a jack of all trades. he spent many years driving a tractor, truck driver, and also a mechanic. You never really seen him just sitting around. Jerry was always up to something. He was the type of man if you needed something he’d get it done. He cares about his family and his community. He spent time as a volunteer firefighter, honorary deputy, bailiff, and so much more. He will be missed by so many. He left his footprints in us all, and his memory will forever be in our hearts.
