Jerry Barthel Stockton passed away peacefully on August 9, 2023 in Glasgow, Kentucky. He was born on October 20, 1946 in Waterview, Kentucky.
Jerry was a devoted father, and caring husband, who served both God and country as he was a passionate preacher and spent over 20 years in the military. He enjoyed spending his time relaxing by cooking, grilling, traveling, and watching sports.

In his later years, Jerry was unable to keep up with one of his additional loves, mowing the yard, where this responsibility was taken
over by his niece La Kreisa and her husband, Jesse. Jerry is also survived by his sisters, Elaine Frances and Mary Lillian Rhodes, as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Jerry was preceded in death by his father, Benton Barthel Stockton, and his mother, Alsena Ellis Stockton.
