Jerry Lee Burress, 72, of Bradford passed from this life Monday, November 18, 2019 at his home surrounded by family. He was born July 13, 1947 in Newport to the late Charles and Betty Carnel Burress.

Jerry spent many years on the road as a truck driver and enjoyed seeing the country.
Jerry is survived by his wife, Carolyn Pollard Burress; a daughter, Toni Burress; stepson, Jeremy Thomason; step-great grandson, Collin Timberlake; brothers, Jim Burress and Ronnie Burress (Brenda); and a sister, Ann Davis (Billy Don Soden); and numerous nieces, nephews, and other family and friends.
