Jerry Lee Seely
Jerry Lee Seely, 89, of Chattanooga passed away peacefully on April 1, 2025, surrounded by loved ones.
Born on Jan. 14, 1936, in O’Donnell, Texas, Jerry was a devoted husband to Linda, a cherished father to Tammy, Tina, Stacy and Mark, along with being a proud grandfather to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Jerry was a firm, fair and consistent man, always ready with a smile and a laugh. He was a retired Master Sergeant from the Army and followed it up with a retirement from the Post Office. Jerry was a life-long seeker of adventure. He lived life from motorcycling, skiing, camping and boating the Tennessee waterways and Florida waters.
Jerry is survived by his wife Linda, his sister, Sherrie, his daughter, Tammy, his bonus daughter and son, Kathy and Jeff, his two sons-in-law, Robbie and Bryan, his grandchildren Jason, Frankie, Brittany Nathan and Nick and his great-grandchildren Justice, Evan, Stella Lauren and Kennedy.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers and two daughters Tina and Stacy.
A celebration of life will be held with his family and a final ride onto the water with friends. Both dates will be later.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking to please donate to St. Jude’s or to your local pet shelter as these are causes that were important to him.
