Obituary For Jerry Clyde Crowder

Mr. Jerry Crowder, 70, of Lanett, Alabama died Wednesday June 4, 2025 at his residence in Lanett, AL.

He was born July 7, 1954 in Langdale, Alabama to the late Clyde and Barbara Crowder.

Jerry was a member of Providence Baptist Church in Lanett, AL.

Jerry was a graduate of Valley High School and Nashville Diesel College in Nashville, TN. He was an ASE certified diesel mechanic. He worked at Diversified Products in Opelika for many years and retired from Wal-Mart Distribution Center in LaGrange.

He enjoyed gardening, cooking, eating, and sharing his wealth of knowledge with anyone that would listen. Jerry was known for his love of whistling. He would whistle at home, after church, in the car, on the porch, and even down the aisles of Kroger. His favorite memories were spending time with his family and spoiling his grandkids. On Tuesday nights you could find him playing dominoes with some of his favorite friends. Jerry was quite the character. He took pleasure in making people laugh by telling jokes and funny stories. These stories may or may not have been the truth.

Mr. Crowder is survived by his wife, Susan Crowder of Lanett, two daughters, Alyson (Matt) Sims and Lindsey (Ron) Sellers, sister, Jeannie (Doyle) Yarbrough, brother in law, Jeff Jones, sister in law, Brenda Harrelson, and grandchildren, Jayden Sims, Jace Sims, Coleman Sellers, Hudson Sellers, and Sage Sellers, and honorary brother, Sam Bradford.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Service will be held Sunday June 8 at 4:00 pm EST/ 3:00 pm CST at Providence Baptist Church, 6315 Country Club Rd. Lanett, AL with Reverends Mitchell Hamilton, Ken Overby, and Brad Reed officiating. Burial will follow at LaFayette City Cemetery. Visitation will be Sunday June 8 from 1:30 – 3:30 EST/ 12:30 – 2:30 CST at the church.

Flowers will be accepted or donations to St. Jude Children’s Hospital 501 St. Jude Pl. Memphis, Tn. 38105

Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

I'm heartbroken over Jerry's passing. I've known him since 1981 A man of impeccable character,integrity and a true friend with whoever he came in contact with. His dedication to his family and friends can never be forgotten. He helped me many days with my truck problems and was always just a phone call away. I will always hold a special place in my heart for this special friend.

To Jerry's family... My name is James Martin and I worked with Jerry for sixteen years at Diversified Products in the Trucking Division. When I started working there I was a dumb 18 year old kid. My first job there was a custodian in the Truck Shop (fresh out of High School) and from Day #1, Jerry treated me as though I was the President of the Company. He was always so kind to me and he always took the time to teach this young kid about life. He didn't even realize he was teaching me back then because I learned so much by simply "watching how Jerry lived". There is no better way to show the Love of Christ to others (it was just natural to Jerry). We shared many laughs and practical jokes (on each other) during those years. I will forever be grateful for the time that Jerry took with me while correcting me when I needed it. I'm sure that when Jerry stepped into eternity and came face to face with Jesus Christ, the first words he heard was "Well done Jerry, Well done"!

James Martin

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Jerry's passing. He was such a great friend to my mama (Debbie Staley) and I have so many fond memories of him when they worked together. He always made us laugh and was always a bright light. Our prayers are with each of the family members in the days, weeks and months to come. Praying for peace and comfort. Rest easy Jerry... you were truly a great friend and person.

Ashley Staley Gaddy

So sorry to hear about Mr Jerry. Praying for his family. God bless.
