Jerry M. Sloan

Jerry M. Sloan, 83, of Easley, South Carolina, devoted husband of Ginger Hyatt Sloan, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at his home. 

Born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, he was a son of the late Houston J. and Ruby Helms Sloan. Jerry led a life full of kindness and warmth, touching the hearts of all who knew him. He graduated from East Mecklenburg High School, Class of 1959, and enjoyed a successful career, retiring as a store manager for Glidden Paint. His dedication to his work was matched only by his devotion to his family and friends. Jerry was known for his gentle and outgoing personality. He was a devoted husband, and his love for others was evident in the way he interacted with everyone around him. People were drawn to him, and he brought joy to countless lives. In his leisure time, Jerry found solace and inspiration in his faith. He loved watching Christian TV shows and made it a daily practice to read his Bible. He was an active member of Rock Springs Baptist Church, where he contributed his time and faith as part of The Faithful Servants Sunday School Class.

In addition to his loving wife of 33 years, Jerry is survived by a son, Michael G. Sloan of Wingate, North Carolina; a daughter, Shelley Sloan Rice of Charlotte, North Carolina; a grandson, Travis Nye, of Charlotte, North Carolina; a brother-in-law, Pastor Harold Hyatt (Mary Ellen) of Henderson, Texas; and a great-niece, Jessica Nicole Owen (Steven) of York, South Carolina.
