On July 17, 1951, Jerry Moses Wynn, Jr. was born in Greene County, Georgia to the late Jerry Moses Wynn, Sr. and Mamie Louise (Dunn) Wynn. Jerry was preceded in death by his oldest brother, Johnny Roy Wynn, Sr.
In his early years of life, he joined Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, where he served and attended faithfully until his health declined. As a young man, he served as Superintendent of the Sunday School and taught the Young Adult Class. Later, he became a member of the Trustee Board, Steward Board, Senior Choir, as well as the Male Choir. He served as a Church Class Leader for over 40 plus years until he was called to his eternal rest.
Jerry was educated in the Greene County School System and graduated from F. T. Corry High School in 1969. After graduation, he went to work for Central Soya in Athens, Georgia. He continued his work career at Universal Rundle in Union Point, Georgia before transitioning to the City of Greensboro Street Department where he worked until his retirement.
On August 10, 1975, Jerry was united in holy matrimony to Shirley L. (Rhodes) Wynn. To this union two sons were born, Jamel Tymon Wynn and Carlos Mikkel Wynn. Jerry was dependable and a pillar of strength. He was a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, exceptional brother and uncle, a kind soul and a good friend.

Mr. Wynn is certainly missed. He loved his family, children, and most of all his grandchildren. As you all proceed with the funeral service today, we pray for strength, courage, and most of all peace. -Love sent from the Barefield Family-
Uncle Jerry was always a blessing to me. I spent summers at the house when visiting my dad. His demeanor was that of a man few of words, loved his family, but as a child I could never read if he was mad or just chill. I was always accepted by his siblings and their families and I thank you all for that. Uncle Jerry could speak with his eyes in a way that anyone could understand. Thank you for being a strong pillar of strength and another man to admire and pick up character traits from. Rest on Uncle Jerry and Condolences to you all Aunt Tin, Jamel, Carlos (Los) and to your families.
-Love Quincy Rhodes and Family-
