Obituary
Jeremiah Cumbess, age 77, of Jasper, FL. passed away Wednesday, April 8, 2015 at South Georgia Medical Center in Valdosta, Georgia following an illness of some time. Jeremiah was born on August 13, 1937 in Jasper to the late John and Renner Bass Cumbess. Jerry, as he was fondly referred to, was always a hard worker in the welding industry. Everyone that knew him could tell you, if it was broke, Jerry could fix it. He enjoyed being outdoors whether it was in the garden planting something, on the riverbank fishing or just sitting on the porch in his rocker watching the birds that he loved so much. The greatest day ever was whatever day his children or grandchildren were going to be stopping in to visit and maybe even have a cup of coffee with him. Mr. Cumbess proudly served his country in the United States Army and was of the Church of God faith. Jeremiah was predeceased by his parents, his two brothers, Johnny and Jesse Cumbess and a sister, Genester Cooper.

Numerous nieces and nephews also survive.
Funeral services were held on Saturday, April 11, 2015 in the chapel of Harry T. Reid Funeral Home in Jasper. Interment followed at Evergreen Cemetery.
