Jerry Dale Adkins, 79, Dunnville, KY Jerry Dale Adkins, lovingly known as Papa Jerry to his children and grandchildren, and brother to his sister and family, passed away suddenly at his home, March 19, 2026. He was 79 years old. Jerry attended services at Thomas Ridge Church in Dunnville, KY. He made a profession of faith to Brother Hershel Lawhorn in 2023, and professed he was saved and baptized in his younger years. Jerry enjoyed the simple pleasures of life he would often be found front porch sitting and visiting his friends and loved ones. Jerry took great pride in interacting with his grandchildren Riley, Kallen, and Korbin and was known for storytelling of past fishing endeavors and knife collecting. He enjoyed an occasional side by side ride even up to his passing. He loved his grand dog (Diesel) who could engage him in short walks with whom he sat with every day until his passing. Jerry was born December 27, 1946, to Esco and Ethera (Stephens) Adkins of Windsor, KY. He adored his daughters and his grandson's, and he would call them daily to tell them just how much. Jerry retired from Liberty Sportswear, formerly known as Osh'Kosh, where he spent much of his life working in textiles. In his younger years you would find him visiting car lots and often driving one home. He had a passion for cars, boats, and visiting the Mountains of Tennessee, that would always surface in most conversations with him especially his Ford Mustang. He is survived by his daughters Teena Kissee (Neil Luttrell); Regina Adkins (SO Benjamin Noonan) all of Dunnville, KY; Three grandson's Kallen Michael Kissee; Korbin Ross Kissee; and Riley Scott Adkins all of Dunnville, KY.

He had two great nephews: Josh Minton and Jake Minton, one great-niece Kristijna (Derek) Sines of Louisville, KY and host of great nieces and nephews. He had a host of extended family and friends and will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Jerry was preceded in death by his parents previously mentioned, one sister Bertha, one brother Richard Adkins both infant siblings, and one grandson Bradley Austyn Floyd son of Teena Kissee. Pallbearers include Neil Luttrell, Josh Minton, Michael Kissee, Kallen Kissee and Riley Adkins with Honorary Paul Bearers Ricky Bastin and Korbin Kissee.
