Jerry Lee Hendrix, Sr.
Jerry Lee Hendrix, Sr., 67, devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend, passed unexpectedly
September 27, 2020 at his home in Powhatan County with his wife, son, daughter and friends by his
side. Jerry was born December 10, 1952 in Richmond, Virginia and graduated from Thomas Jefferson
High School. He is preceded in death by his grandmother Ida Dowdy, JW Harold Hendrix (father),
Christine Virginia “Dowdy” Hendrix (mother), Terry Lynn Hendrix (brother), Michael T. Walter
(son-in-law). He is survived by his wife of 49 years Marie Hendrix, Jerry Hendrix, Jr. (son), Jaime Walter
(daughter), Austin, Mason and Addison Walter (grandchildren), Wyatt and Zoie (grandchildren). Jerry is
also survived by a long list of family and friends that loved him dearly and will miss him beyond words.
Jerry had a vast knowledge of everything and as he quoted “not an expert on any”, all though we
disagreed, we thought he knew everything. His passion for life and his family was beyond exceptional
and was apparent in his daily life. Jerry lived his life by the motto, “you treat people the way you want
to be treated.” His passion in life was led by his heart and what was right regardless of who was
watching, never expecting anything in return. His greatest passion was his loving wife, children and
grandchildren. Jerry also loved Sunday dinners, time with his family and friends and had an enormous
passion and love for animals. In his downtime he loved to watch many of his favorite shows, In the heat
of the night, Walker Texas ranger, gunsmoke, the Virginian, John Wayne and TCM. Jerry had the
amazing ability to lighten any room with conversation, he loved to talk, and would strike a conversation
with anyone. Jerry never knew a stranger, if you were, you would soon be a friend. He was the most
loving and compassionate man you could ever meet and if you were lucky enough to know him, you
were blessed. He will be greatly missed and always loved beyond words.
For the last 25 years, Jerry managed and operated Southside Cremation Services. He took great pride
and care in his services, as he did in his own life.
