Born in Atlanta on September 28, 1962, Mr. Nalley was the son of the late Lee R. and Geneva Nalley.  He was a follower of Jesus who lived a life of generosity and devotion to his Savior and family.  Jerry was a devoted husband of forty years to Teresa Nalley, gracious father to Crystal Bolin (Andrew Bolin) and adoring grandfather to Luke and Emory Bolin. He was brother to Linda Trotter (Greg Trotter) and Lee Nalley; uncle to Katey Cousineau (Courtney Cousineau); brother-in-law to Janice Johnson (Bill Johnson).  Jerry was a consistent man of character.  He was known as a listener to many, always offering wisdom and kindness.  He was a dedicated employee to Southern Company Services for thirty years.  Jerry enjoyed many years of playing softball, skiing his beloved Beech Mountain, and cheering for the Florida State Seminoles and the Colorado Avalanche.  He adored his grandchildren and showered them with love and laughter while pointing them to Jesus.  He was loved and cherished but now rejoices in Heaven with the Lord.
