Obituary - Gerald Edwin Manack
Joiner-Anderson Funeral Home, Screven Chapel
Jerry Manack of Sylvania, Georgia, passed away February 11, 2021. He was 89 years old. He was surrounded by his family.
    Jerry was born in Sylvania, Georgia, and lived there throughout his life.
    He was married to Kay Daughtry Manack, who preceded him in death in 2001.
    He owned and operated a timber business throughout his career and retired on his tree farm in Screven County.
    Jerry was proud of his Italian heritage -- his father’s original surname was Magnacca -- as was reflected in his high-spiritedness and passion for life.
    His love of the outdoors and the beauty of nature were prevalent throughout his life, and he was a skilled hunter. He especially enjoyed hunting with his children and with his best friend, Dr. Robert B. Pamplin Jr. He and Dr. Pamplin hunted all over the world, including an African safari in the 1960s. Regarding their friendship, Dr. Pamplin shared these words, “As Jerry’s best friend, I am proud, honored and thankful to have shared many grand adventures from hunting to cruising timber and logging. From his wealth of practical expertise, he taught me how to endure hardships and be successful. Over the years, I learned that if you followed Jerry’s advice and counsel, your efforts would work to a beneficial end. But aside from being a mentor, I knew I was associated with an honorable gentleman.  Being a gentleman like Jerry causes these words to come to mind.
