Jerry Allen Kilgore Sr., 79, passed away on Thursday, January 30, 2025. Graveside services will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, February 8th at Waco Memorial Park, 6623 South Interstate 35, Waco with Pastor Kevin Diggs officiating.

Jerry was born on March 29, 1945 in Dallas to Dottie Estelle and Luke M Kilgore Jr. He attended University high school where he met the love of his life, Virginia Sue Blevins. He and Virginia were married on November 19, 1963. He was a proud veteran serving in the United States Air Force. He was retired from running his business, Kilgore Septic Systems. During his retirement, he enjoyed hunting and fishing, but most of all, gardening. “Paw” as he was affectionately known, was famous for his huge garden and his massive hauls of vine ripe tomatoes. He also enjoyed putting around “the farm” in his trusty Ole Kawasaki Mule and piddling in his barn for hours on end. 

He was preceded in death by his wife, Virgina Sue Kilgore; father, Luke Middleton Kilgore Jr.; mother, Dottie Estelle Kilgore; and brother, Orval Luke Kilgore.

Jerry is survived by son, Jerry Allen Kilgore Jr and wife, Amanda; daughter, Terri Dutschmann and husband John; sister, Linda Diane Padgett and husband Steve; grandchildren, Jason Kilgore, Cody Kilgore and wife, Kelly, Tristan Moyer, Kelsey Johnson, Korie Dutschmann, Garrett Dutschmann and wife Haley. He is also survived by his five-great grandchildren; along with his beloved pets, Sami Sue and Kitty Sue.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Wounded Warriors foundation or the Texas Parks and Wildlife.
