Jerry Gene Honeycutt entered his heavenly home on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at the age of 80. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Mobley-Groesbeck Funeral Service of Sand Springs.

A funeral service celebrating his life will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, February 13, at Sand Springs Methodist Church, with Pastor Cole Fields officiating. Jerry will be laid to rest at Floral Haven Cemetery in Broken Arrow. Viewing will be available at the funeral home on Wednesday from 12 to 8 p.m.

Jerry was born on June 14, 1944, in Knoxville, Tennessee, to Jimian Elvin Honeycutt and Helen May "Moo" (Abdoo) Honeycutt. He grew up in Pryor and Tulsa, graduating from Nathan Hale High School. Jerry was drafted into the U.S. Army and proudly served his country in Vietnam as part of the 82nd Airborne Division. He continued his service in the reserves until 1971.

Following his military service, Jerry pursued his passion for mechanics by attending Spartan Aeronautics. He built a diverse career, working as a mechanic for American Airlines and holding positions at Southwestern Bell, Flint Steel, Mercury Marine, and Quick Set before retiring. A true "jack of all trades," Jerry had a knack for fixing anything. His children learned by his side, gaining valuable skills as they worked alongside him.

Jerry met the love of his life, Susie Honeycutt, through mutual friends, and they married in April 1968. Together, they built a beautiful life centered around family. He loved traveling, discovering a passion for cruising later in life, and taking frequent trips to Branson with his family. Jerry was an active member of Sand Springs Methodist Church, where he attended with Susie, affectionately known as "YaYa."

Jerry was known for his intelligence, determination, and unwavering dedication to those he loved. He had a wealth of knowledge and could figure out how to fix just about anything—whether woodworking, electronics, or home repairs (though he strongly disliked plumbing). He had a passion for classic cars, treasuring his Stingray Corvette, '57 Bel Air, and '87 Thunderbird Turbo, which he was in the process of rebuilding. A tinkerer at heart, he enjoyed air shows, NASCAR races, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers and Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Above all, Jerry cherished time with his family. He was a strong, courageous, and loving man who left a lasting impact on those who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Susie, in 2023, twin daughters: Melissa and Jeanette, as well as his parents. He is survived by his children, Jerry Honeycutt and wife Jill of Sapulpa, Tina Cooper and husband Steve of Sand Springs, and Shannon Herndon and husband Lloyd of Berryhill. His sister, Arlene Tiffany of Tulsa, also survives him, along with his beloved grandchildren, Ashley Padgett, Melanie Honeycutt, Amanda Honeycutt, Levi Cooper, Michael Cooper, Katherine Buxton and husband Devin, Benjamin Cooper, Jason Cooper, Brooke Buttrey and husband Clay, Tyler Herndon, and Hannah Herndon.

Jerry was blessed with great-grandchildren, Bradie, Kaden, Bryson, Finley, Lennox, Jayden, Roland, Isabelle, Emory, Baker, Korben, Tate, Roman, and one great-granddaughter on the way, Posie Sue. He is also survived by his niece and nephew, Denise Carlton and husband Ronnie, and Doug Tiffany and wife Kelli.

Jerry's legacy of hard work, love, and dedication to family will be forever cherished by those who had the honor of knowing him.
