Jerry Leuis Gaddy, 76, of Kings Mountain, North Carolina, passed away on November 19, 2023 in Blacksburg, South Carolina.

Born in Cleveland County, NC, he was the son of the late Thurman Albert Gaddy and Lucy Costner Gaddy. Jerry was self-employed for many years doing floor coverings and was a passionate collector of tractors and lawnmowers, which he loved to work on and tinker with. He also loved working to beautify Christmas lights and other electrical projects. Jerry was early to bed and early to rise, up before the sun so he could head to the flea market and bargain hunt. He loved spending time at the beach. Jerry had a special love for hummingbirds and flowers of all kinds; he was always cultivating something, including baby pansies which he had just planted recently. Jerry was of the Baptist faith. He had a great love for his family and maintained close, special relationships with his siblings his whole life. His warmth and affection will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
