Jerry Paul Landon, Sr

Jerry Paul Landon, Sr., 69, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, May 12, 2026 under the care of GHC Hospice.

Jerry was born on February 27, 1957 in Pierce County, Georgia to the late George Otis “G.O.” Landon and Vera Roberson Landon.  He spent his early years in Wayne County before relocating to Miami, Florida at the age of sixteen years old. While living in Miami, Jerry began a career that he would work in for the next fifty years, construction, and shortly after met and married the love of his life, Barbara Kay Harris Landon.  The couple relocated back to Wayne County shortly after they were married and began to build a home and a life together with their children.  Jerry worked for Ray Thornton Builders for nearly twenty years before beginning his own construction company where he built everything from homes to cabinets and anything else that needed building.  Jerry was highly skilled and meticulous with his work.   He lived a simple life.  All he needed was what he had.  Jerry was always working on a project in his shop and he was eager to pass on his knowledge and skills to his children and grandchildren.  In his spare time, Jerry enjoyed fishing, hunting and spending time with the ones he loved the most, his beloved family.  In addition to his parents, his brothers,   J.R., James, Ray, Julian, Lawton and Joseph Landon and two sisters, Janice Manning and Jeanette Peacock, all preceded him in death.

Survivors include his wife of forty-five years, Barbara Kay Harris Landon of Screven; one daughter, Amy Campbell and husband, Brandon of Odum; two sons, Paul Landon and wife, Jessica of Blackshear and Bryan Landon and wife, Heather of Screven; grandchildren, Annason, Lindsey and Summer Campbell and Austin, Logan, Hunter, Brenden Landon and Christopher Pinyan and three sisters, Wanda Bradley of Eufaula, Alabama, Shirley Landon of Blackshear and Betty Summers of Alma.  A host of nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family members also survive.

Private burial services will be held in Red Hill Cemetery at a later date.

The family would like to express their deepest appreciation to the staff of GHC Hospice for all the extra special loving care showed to Jerry in his final days.  You all went above and beyond the call of duty and we will forever be grateful.
