Jerry K Clemmons

Jerry K Clemmons, age 79, of Edmonton, Kentucky, passed away on Friday, November 13th, 2026, at his residence surrounded by family. He was born on October 14, 1947 to the late Hank Clemmons and the late Jewell (Brown) Clemmons.

Jerry Clemmons was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather and great-grandfather, and a dedicated servant to his community. He leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, hard work, and more than six decades of service to the people he cared so deeply about.

Jerry dedicated over 60 years of his life to the Edmonton-Metcalfe Volunteer Fire Department, serving as Fire Chief for more than 50 years. His commitment to protecting and serving his community went far beyond a title. It was a calling, and he proudly answered it for generations. He also served as an EMT with the Barren-Metcalfe Ambulance Service, always willing to lend a helping hand to someone in need.

Jerry dedicated his time to Metcalfe Motors, where he spent many years working as a mechanic and loved the wrecker service. He also retired from the school bus garage, where he continued doing what he knew best. He was a hardworking man who took pride in his work and in providing for those he loved.

While Jerry accomplished so much throughout his life, his greatest pride and joy was his family. He loved spending time with them and absolutely worshipped his grandchildren. Whether it was making memories, sharing stories, or simply being together, his family meant everything to him. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing, two of his favorite pastimes.

Jerry’s life was one of service, dedication, and love. He was a man his community could depend on, a husband who loved his wife, a father who loved his children, and a Pawpaw whose grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the light of his life. His presence will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched and the family he loved so dearly.

Jerry is survived by his loving wife, Judy Clemmons; his son, Troy Clemmons (Susan Clemmons); and his daughter, April Hammer (Steven Hammer).

He also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren, Dustin Clemmons (Allison), Katie Clemmons (Colby) and Drake McCoy. He also leaves behind his brother, Douglas (Runnell) Clemmons and several nieces and nephews.

His greatest blessings continued through his precious great-grandchildren, Lucas Romines, Mason and ClaraMae Clemmons.

In addition to his parents, Jerry was preceded in death by his sisters, Dorothy (Ferrell) Moss and Shelby Jean Bragg (Cecil).

Funeral services for Jerry will be held 1:00 PM, Monday, November 16, 2026, at Edmonton-Metcalfe Fire Department in Edmonton with burial in Chestnut Grove Cemetery. Visitation will begin Sunday, 11:00 AM until 8:00 PM at Butler Funeral Home and then Monday at 8:00 AM until time for the service at the Fire Department.  

Though Jerry’s time here has come to an end, the love he gave, the lives he touched, and the legacy he built will never be forgotten.
