I knew Jerry Ming briefly at Delta tech while I was there in the early part of 1998 taking truck driving,was always friendly and easy going, this accident sounds so tragic and terrible and the driver of the tractor trailer rig should have been held responsible,my sincere condolences to the family even though this happened in 2019 and I'm writing this on New Year's Day 2025

Jerry and Rose were wonderful Christian people, I had the pleasure of growing up with Rose on 75, her family was dear to me. I know they were angels among us and now they have their heavenly wings, what a joy that is, I know the loss is unbearable now but knowing that they are together with their Heavenly Father will give you comfort in the days ahead. May God bless and keep you as the days to come. Much love to the family. RIP Jerry and Rose

I was one of Mr. Ming's students at Delta Tech in Marked Tree and I had the pleasure of taking his technical math class. For the first time in my educational career, someone explained algebra etc in a way that made complete sense to me. I later had the pleasure of working with Mr. Ming for about ten years. He always had a smile on his face and a fishing story to tell. Mr. Ming was always willing to help anyone in anyway he could. They just don't make good people like him any more. You will be missed Mr. Ming.

Jerry Ming was a man of his word and a true gentleman. He loved to hunt and fish and loved his family. I would see him and Rose a lot for they loved their diet coke from the Dairy Freeze. Him and Rose were soul mates and just good people. Mr. Ming hunted with my brother and I can see him sitting on that ditch dump in Payneway with usually a child, waiting on the Dove's during dove season. Both their laughs came easily, this world will not be the same nor will the community of Marked Tree AR. be the same without these to people. Prayers for all the family, I know your hearts hurt so very deep. Just know Jerry and Rose Ming touched the lives of many and will never be forgotten.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we learn of this incredible tragedy. Please know that your loss resonates in our hearts. Kevin, Monty always spoke so highly of you and we met your parents at Mr. Pete's funeral. They were quite obviously very fine people. I cannot imagine the sorrow of losing both parents at once especially under such unfathomable conditions. Please know you and Keith as well as your extended family are held in our thought with kindness and healing compassion.
