Taylor Funeral Home of Gibson announces the death and funeral services of Mr. Jarrel Sammons, age 64, of Mitchell who died Sunday morning August 18, 2024, at his home surrounded by his family.

Funeral services will be held 2:00 PM Wednesday in the Sheppard Memorial Chapel of Taylor Funeral Home in Gibson with Paster David O. Jones officiating. A private burial will follow for the immediate family only. Pallbearers will be Ryan Ferris, Ralph Angel, Brad Neal, Timmy Usry, Tim Landrum, Phil Garner, Jerry Wood, and Darryl Usry.

Mr. Sammons was born and raised in Glascock County along with his four sisters. He was a truck driver, working 31 years with Georgia Pacific and retiring in 2021 from Smith Farm Supply. He always loved meeting new people on his route, reconnecting with old friends, and spreading the Gospel wherever he went. Jarrel was known by many people from all over, from South Georgia all the way to New York. Being the family man he was, he enjoyed spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren. He made many special memories with his wife traveling anywhere, whether it was to Jay & Maria's in New York, visiting the Grand Canyon, or anywhere in between. Ultimately, his favorite times were when his entire family would gather for Sunday dinners, where he made sure his family knew how much he loved them.

Jarrel is preceded in death by his parents Hershel Terrell Sammons and Eloise Sammons, grandparents Willis & Georgia Sammons, sisters: Mary Jane "Janie" Radford Johnson, Jackie Elizabeth Sammons Mowery, uncles: JC Sammons, George Sammons, Eugene Sammons, Lester Sammons, Thomas Sammons, Hugh Sammons, and William Sammons.

The family may be contacted at their residence and will receive friends from 5:00 to 8:00 PM Tuesday at the funeral home.

The family would like to thank everyone for all the prayers and generosity. Special thanks to Rhi Rayburn, Allay Hospice for taking wonderful care of Jarrel in his final days.
