Jerry Charles McClure
( November 1, 1947 - April 20, 2025 )
Jerry Charles McClure, age 77, of Hunting Avenue in Lincolnton, passed away on Sunday, April 20, 2025.
His funeral service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at Victory Grove Baptist Church with Rev. Clay Ledford and Rev. David Jarrell officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery with military rites. The family will receive friends from 1:30 until 2:45 p.m. prior to the service at the church.
Mr. McClure was born November 1, 1947, in Lincoln County, to the late Calvin Charles McClure and Margaret Lee Sain McClure. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Michael McClure. Jerry served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He retired from the Timken Company after 28+ years of service.
Jerry was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend to many. He was a faithful member of Victory Grove Baptist Church, where he sang in the choir after discovering a talent for music later in life. He was meticulously detailed and believed in things being done right. He applied this to woodworking in his garage or tinkering in his yard (or any yard he could find). At night, you could find him relaxing in his den with a bowl of ice cream to a variety of tv shows like MASH, Andy Griffith, or Gunsmoke. Jerry had a quick-witted sense of humor and never found a bad time to crack a joke. Anyone in his presence was always at risk of being the center of that joke. He lived a life of service to others and had a way of making everyone feel important and loved.
He is survived by his wife, Elaine Martin McClure of the home; son, Steve McClure (Amanda) of Lincolnton; daughter, Lori Dhand (Adarsh) of Davidson, NC; sister, Jeannie Lineberger (Jerry) of Lincolnton; and five grandchildren, Cameron Pressley, Tristan McClure, Holland McClure, Maeve Dhand, and Lila Dhand.
Memorials may be made to Victory Grove Baptist Church, Building Fund, 457 Victory Grove Church Road, Lincolnton, NC 28092.
