Preacher Jerry Wayne Whiteheart, 74, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Sunday, January 5, 2025, surrounded by loved ones. He was born in Forsyth County on June 5, 1950, to the late Grady Claude Whiteheart Sr. and Mozelle Disher Whiteheart. Jerry was a man who was committed to his faith. He began preaching in his teenage years and attended Piedmont Bible College. Jerry became well known for his International Radio Broadcast program, “The Light of the Gospel Hour” which ran for over 30 years. He pastored five different churches, presently at Trulite for the past 11 years, and spent 22 years as an Evangelist, spreading the word of the Lord, and touching many hearts along the way. In his bountiful life, Jerry led many into the arms of the Lord and enlightened them with the gospel he preached. He will be missed dearly by those who knew and loved him.
