December 2, 1951 - February 16, 2023
Mr. Jerry Wayne Seber, age 71, died Thursday, February 16, 2023, at Select Specialty Hospital in Savannah after a brief illness.
On December 2nd, 1951, a legend was born. One who would be a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, mentor, and role model to many.
Jerry spent countless hours supporting and guiding cub scouts and boy scouts pack and Troop 75, coaching Dixie Youth baseball, and spending time with his family. Well known for his cooking and grilling expertise, he hosted countless cookouts and truly set the standard for who a father and friend should be. During his 42 years at Georgia Power, he continued to focus on the safety and wellbeing of others, ensuring his children and others became as successful as they could be. The two words associated with Jerry are “legacy” and “legend.”
From spending time with Savannah in the “boys club” to telling folks “if I tell you a rooster can pull a freight train, you better hook him up.” He always knew what people needed and what they wanted to hear. He’ll be playing golf, shooting doves, and working with his tractor to make sure folks have what they need.
Jerry is survived by the love of his life, Dale Seber; his son and daughter-in-law, Matthew (Marnie) Seber; his daughter and son-in-law, Lindsay (Tim) Keller; two special nieces, Michelle McNeely (Shaymus) and Savannah Yaun (Caleb); as well as five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. A host of nieces and nephews also survive.
