Jerry M Bevil

Jerry M. Bevil, 76, of Hartford, passed away on March 13, 2026, at Ohio County Hospital. Born on May 1, 1949, in Owensboro to the late Earl and Kathleen Bevil, he lived a life marked by quiet service, deep faith, and a genuine love for his family and community.

A longtime member of Beaver Dam Baptist Church and the Gideons, Jerry found joy on the golf course and in cheering for UK basketball. He often remarked that a bad day golfing was better than a good day working. He and his wife of 54 years, Judy, cherished their travels together. For four decades, he and his twin brother, Larry, owned and operated Bevil Bros. Funeral Home, where his care, compassion, and wisdom brought comfort to countless families during their most difficult times. He later served as Ohio County Coroner and, when asked by his daughter, happily worked as a substitute bus driver for Ohio County Schools. Above all, Jerry treasured his family and took great delight in the arrival of each new great-grandchild.

He is survived by his wife, Judy Tichenor Bevil; daughters, Kara (Jason) Bullock and Whitney (Chris) Geary; grandchildren, Cole Bullock, Addison Bullock, Colin Bullock, Jaxon (Brooklyn) Lindsey, Griffin (Shelby) Geary, and Audrina (Cody) Tinsley; great-grandchildren, Eleanor Lindsey, Jax Lindsey, Wrigley Allen, Emma Tinsley, Lennix Tinsley, and Ealand Tinsley; twin brother, Larry (Kathy) Bevil; brothers, David (Jackie) Bevil; sister, Diana Kay Sanderfur; and several nieces and nephews.
