William Shurrell Jerkins Family needs Help with Cremation

Thank you just don’t seem like enough

Thank you everyone who has Donated and will Be….The family really appreciate all the help and prayers.

August 17, 2024 at 7:43 pm William Shurrell Jerkins passed away. He fought a long battle with cancer . He stayed strong just like the man he always was.

The family found out today they need $2500 more before they will even cremate him.

I know times are hard so a little bit goes along way. Thank you in advance, much appreciated by myself and by the family. It’s a hard grieving time right now for everyone, so all the prayers are welcome.

RIP Brother, love you forever and always.

I have a brother from another mother that isn't doing so well but I know there are so many prayer warriors out there. Please pray for William (Shurell) Jerkins and his family! Prayers and Donations of any amount welcome!

This is from one of his Daughters:

Nobody has really updated anyone on my dad so I’m just going to write this post for you all to realize the depth of the situation.

In November of 2023 we found out dad had cancer on his tongue. Dad really didn’t want to have the surgery because he wouldn’t be able to talk to us but the cancer was draining him. It was causing his tongue to bleed constantly. We almost thought that was it but he made it to January. This cancer grew so fast in less than two months it almost killed him before he got his tongue removed. A month ago my dad was thriving. He kicked cancers ass again. To me he had taken not having a tongue well. That man has been through hell through all of this. A few weeks ago they found another spot in my dad’s throat. We did a biopsy and they went to Birmingham to get the results. Today we found out there is nothing left to do. My dad now has cancer in his throat. All they can do is make him comfortable. Radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy is all no good and will just make him go faster. I advise everyone who cares and loves my dad to spend all the time with him. I don’t know how much time we have. I do know the tongue cancer progressed fast. I’m not saying this one will I’m just looking at all the different scenarios. I don’t know what to do honestly. I truly don’t think it’s real and I can’t accept it. This is my dad. The man who is a jack of all trades. The man who loves to party and have a good time. The man who has a bad attitude problem just like all of his kids (that’s where we get it from). The man who loves us so much it’s annoying. The man who sat outside the hospital while I gave birth to his granddaughters. The man who has gave my momma a headache for damn near 30 years. I don’t know what to do or even say. Throughout all of this I’ve tried to keep it together for him and my mom but this was my breaking point. Pray or do whatever you do for my mom, siblings, and all of our family.

Keep my momma in your thoughts to.

She’s stood by my dad for so long even when he was hard headed. She’s now trying her best to keep it together for him.

Thank you to everyone who has been there throughout all of this and prayed for him. We all appreciate it.”

I don’t want him to have his last days worrying about his family and funeral plans and bills and food!

Shurrell means a lot to us. He has been their for myself that I want to help him in his time of need.We love you so much brother ❤
