Jerry Lee Parker of Campbellsville, son of the late Jesse and Wilhelmina Briggman Parker, was born January 3, 1941 in Tell City, Indiana. He died on Thursday, November 28, 2024 at his home in Campbellsville, Kentucky. Age: 83

Jerry professed faith in Christ at an early age and was a member of Campbellsville Baptist Church. He also served in past years as a Deacon and part-time song leader at Robinson Creek Baptist Church.
Jerry loved to fish and hunt, but his heart was always in basketball. He graduated from Taylor County High School in 1959, having played basketball through his high school years. After graduation from high school, he enrolled in Lindsey Wilson College where he continued his love for basketball. After graduating from Lindsey Wilson College, he enrolled at the University of Tennessee where he was a star athlete for the U of T Volunteers, and after his graduation there, continued his career as an assistant basketball coach for the Volunteers. It is safe to say that there was never a more faithful University of Tennessee Volunteers fan than Jerry Parker.
In later years, he coached basketball at Elizabethtown Catholic School and Campbellsville Independent School, where he led the boy’s basketball team to the State Tournament in 1973. To most people in Campbellsville, Jerry was affectionately known as “Coach Parker”.
