Jerry L. Payne

Jerry L. Payne, 75, a lifetime resident of Pasadena, Maryland, died on Tuesday, January 11, 2022 at his home.

Mr. Payne was born on Friday, July 5th, 1946 in Baltimore, Maryland to the late Marvin Lee Payne and Agnes V. Payne. He served for 42 years as a Foreman with BG&E. He was a veteran of Vietnam and served in the Navy for 4 years and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, Navy Unit Commendation Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal. He attended Heritage Community Church and was a member of The Upside Downers Club. In his spare time, Jerry enjoyed anything that involved hanging out with his friends and family: camping, cookouts, bonfires, parties, or just having family over to the house. He was truly one of the sweetest and most caring men whose outgoing and funny personality always made people feel welcome and loved. If you needed anything, he would do it for you at the drop of a hat. Jerry was dearly loved and will be dearly missed.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Payne is preceded in death by his brother, Johnny Payne. He is survived by his loving partner of 28 years, Edra Musselman; daughter, Tammy Dinsmore (Matt); step-children, Brenda Knight (Robert) and Tony Musselman; siblings, Marvin Payne, Barbara Clements, and Joan Danovich; grandchildren, Colsen Dinsmore, Gracee Knight, Savanna Knight, Sarah Knight, Tony Musselman, and Taylor Musselman; great-grandchildren, Anthony Musselman and Hadrian Musselman; and last but not least, his furbabies Jake and Missy.
