Jerry was the cherished son of the late Jerry Kenneth Allred and Louise Bell Allred. He was predeceased by his loving parents and two brothers, Steven and Bryan Allred, all of Pine Bluff. Despite these losses, Jerry remained a steadfast pillar of strength for his family and friends. He is survived by his devoted wife, Shirley Allred, who stood by his side through every high and low. His legacy continues through his son Jeremy Wayne Allred Sr., daughter Stasha N. Marlow, and his treasured grandchildren: Arianna N. Fairbanks of Paris, Arkansas, and Evie E. Marlow of Sheridan.

During his service, he was an active member of the boxing club, a passion that he carried with him throughout his life. After his military service, Jerry contributed to his community by working with Delta Steel in the 1990s and Georgia Pacific in the 1980s, and by building numerous structures in Pine Bluff and surrounding areas. Jerry's heart was always happiest in nature. He found peace and joy in the outdoors, spending countless hours hunting, fishing, and camping. These activities were more than hobbies; they were ways in which he connected with the world and shared precious moments with his family. He loved reminiscing about his younger years and was a truly caring father and grandfather, always ready with a story or a lesson. His family invites anyone wishing to honor his memory with flowers to send them to 405 East Baldwin, White Hall, Arkansas. Jerry Stanley Allred will be deeply missed, but his legacy of love, strength, and adventure will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
