Jerry Lee Galloway's Obituary
Jerry Lee Galloway,77, of Crown City, OH, went to be with the Lord on the 4th of July, 2023. Jerry deeply loved his family and friends. He worked hard as the patriarch of his family to instill Godly morals and values in his children and grandchildren. Jerry was the Pastor of Rockwood Baptist Church for 31 years. For his livelihood, Jerry was involved in many different businesses throughout the years. But his true passion was servitude towards the Lord where he served in a wide capacity of areas from pastoring his church, praying with the sick at hospitals, leading funeral services, officiating weddings, counseling to Christians and non-Christians, and being a witness of the Lord to everyone he came in contact with. Jerry saw much struggle in this life, but his allegiance and dedication never wavered, and he remained steadfast in his faith throughout his time here. He worked tirelessly towards the end to do whatever he could to further the Lord's Kingdom. He worked to the point he could no longer stand at the pulpit due to the pain of his joints but instead had to sit in a chair while he brought the word to his congregation. This simple gesture is a testament and reoccurring theme in his life where he put the work of Jesus even before himself. His race has run and now he can rest in eternal peace with our Lord and Savior. Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, Ancel (Bus) and Nora Mae Galloway; his mother-in-law, Janice Sims; father- in law, Lewis Sims; beloved sons, Michael D. Galloway and Matthew D. Galloway; nephew, Gary Galloway and brother-in-law, Jimmie Ramey. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Donna Lee Galloway; brother, Norman (Judy) Galloway; children Tommy Galloway, Marcia (Dave) Huff, Shanna (Dana) Cornell; daughter- in-law, Kelli Galloway; sister-in-law, Connie Ramey; grandchildren, Aaron (Alexis) Fields, Seth Galloway (Samantha Morrison and her children Piper & Paisleigh), Zack (LeeAnn) Huff, Whitney (Josh) Locey, Jonah Galloway (Makayla Clark), Rylee Galloway (Jared Stapleton), Baylee Cornell (Brennen West), Addyson Cornell, Sophie Cornell; great grandchildren, Adrianne Workman, Zander Huff, Natalie Fields, Macyn, Cameron and Ashton Galloway; nephews, Larry (Debbie) Galloway, Dwight (Michelle) Galloway and their family; and a host of other friends, family and his precious church family at Rockwood Baptist Church.
