Jacob “Jake” “Arnie” Berry, of Dozier, Alabama, and formerly of Plant City, died April 18, 2015, from injuries sustained in a vehicle crash.
He enjoyed fishing and deer hunting, and had yet to master turkey hunting. He loved the days on the river bank, riding the back roads with his wife, spending time with family and friends and those Florida Gators. He always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell.
He is survived by his wife, Penny Berry; son, David Berry, daughters, Kaitlynn Berry and Kailee Berry; sisters, Nicole Richards (Brian) and Tracy Bailey (Russel); mother, Teresia Berry (Greg); step-children, Miranda Harvey and Ryan Braddock; shared grandchild, Sadie Lou; nieces, Stormy Richards, Gracy Richards, Jessica Fortner, Kayla Spears, Cheyenne Spears, Heather Bailey, Ashlyn Green and Rebeccca Beitz; nephews, Cole Richards, Wade Richards and Cody Dispennette; grandfather, Jessie Berry; and other great-nices, great-nephews, family and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Gerald Berry.
A celebration of life was held April 30, at Hopewell Funeral Home. Interment at Springhead Cemetery. Online condolences may be made at HopewellFuneral.com.
