Adams, age 75, whose greatest joy was being a husband, father and papaw, went to be with his Savior of over 50 years, late on June 2, 2015, after a long illness. He was born February 20, 1940, the youngest of seven children of Luther and Ollie McKeehan Adams, of Elizabethton.

He was a veteran of the Tennessee Army National Guard, was a 32 degree Mason and Shriner, delivered milk for Bassett Dairy in Bristol, and then owned his own industrial supply business, J & A Sales. He was a member of First Baptist Church in Elizabethton and also attended First Baptist Church of Kingsport with his daughter’s family for a time. Jerry was a man who loved the simple things of life. He enjoyed eating out and “cutting up” with his family and friends, most of all. He loved to watch westerns and read the newspaper; he and Sharon loved to go to Pals and eat in the car and watch the sunset.

He is survived by his wife, Sharon Rose Greene Adams; one daughter, Vandi Adams France, son-in-law, Dr. Jeff France, Boones Creek, and his pride and joy, two granddaughters, Madeline Margaret France and Katherine Bailey France. He also had many very special nieces and nephews, who live in East Tennessee. One special nephew, Steve Settle, his wife Judy, and their children, Rachael and David, of Chattanooga. He also leaves behind so many sweet friends, including Clyde and Nell Jenkins-Jerry and Sharon’s best friends for over 60 years.
