Jerry Allen Alkire, 77, of Weston, departed this life on Wednesday, September 6, 2023. He passed in the comfort of his home and surrounded by loving family.
He was born in Weston on March 8, 1946, a son of the late Floyd Harris and Etta Alkire Harris. In addition to his parents, Jerry was preceded in death by three sisters: Alice May Harris, Jenny May Harris, and Linda Mae Alkire; and three brothers: Robert Harris, Floyd Harris, and Charlie Alkire.
Forever cherishing their memories of Jerry are one son, Joey Alkire; two brothers: Lloyd Alkire and wife, Mary, and Roger Harris, both of Weston; one sister, Becky Alkire also of Weston; several nieces and nephews; and his beloved dog, Hoss.
A man of faith, he was a long-standing member of Broad Street United Methodist Church in Weston. The words of Proverbs 22:1, "A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold" rightly describes Jerry's life. He was a man who valued integrity and hard work, traits that were evident in his long employment at WV Glass Factory, where he was a dedicated and respected employee until his retirement. Jerry also possessed a love for the simple joys of life, finding great pleasure in tending to his lawn and spending quality time with his beloved dog, Hoss.
