Jerry was the owner of Week’s Tire Company in Elba. He began the business in his backyard in the mid 70’s, delivering tires during the week, and mounting tires on Saturdays for customers. His business continued to grow and in 1980 he purchased the building at the company’s current location. Through dedicated service, he continued to expand, and in the mid 90’s integrated to a full-service automotive repair shop while continuing to wholesale tires to numerous retail locations.
He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. His love for his Lord was evident, and he always strived to set a Christian example for others to follow.
