A lifelong resident of Gainesville, he was born on July 28, 1950 a son of the late Willie Fay Carder and the late Bessie Turner Carder Wilkie. He worked for General Motors for 20 years and then at Avery for 15 years. He was of the Holiness faith.

Since 1966 Jerry and Brenda have shared an unconditional love for each other. To understand the greatest form of sanctification is to pick someone who you share each day with and learn a way to love them more. To become one in the eyes of God. That was the love that they grew and shared together.

Jerry was a Man of his word who Loved hard and forgave quickly. He was a godly man who loved Jesus. Family, friends, his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren all looked up to him while he lifted the world's weight off their shoulders. Nobody was there more than Jerry, if anybody had a problem or something they were struggling with he was there to help. He was always there to fix everything from broken doves on the porch to a broken heart.

His family was the only thing he loved more than his favorite past time restoring old cars and keeping his 1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air in prestige shape that won many awards in car shows.

In addition to his parent, Mr. Carder was preceded in death by his son, Kevin Carder; brother, Ricky Carder and sister, Martha Ballance.

A Loving husband, father, and PawPaw, Mr. Carder is survived by his wife, Brenda Pierce Carder; son, Daren Carder Sr. wife Lisa Carder; son, Chad Carder wife Kelly Carder; daughter, Donna McHugh; grandson, Daren Carder Jr. and sons Hudson Carder and Kohen Carder; granddaughter, Aleta Bruce husband Steven Bruce and son Colton Bruce; granddaughter, Leanna Davidson husband Josh Davidson, son Jacob Davidson and daughter Aviah Davidson; granddaughter, Jasmine Carder and Casey Sayre, daughter Ariana Sayre, son Devin Sayre; granddaughter: Madison Carder; granddaughter, Emily Carder; granddaughter: Brooke Carder and a number of nieces, nephews and other loving relatives and friends.

"I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough". – Noah “The Notebook”
