Rev. W. Irvin Pearre, Jr.

Rev. W. Irvin Pearre, Jr., age 80 of Jonesboro passed away July 30, 2020. Rev. Pearre was the Minister of Pastoral Care at First Baptist Church Jonesboro for many years. We weep for ourselves,. but we rejoice for Irvin! He was born again and now lives forever! Not because he was a Pearre, or a minister, or an American, or a Baptist, or was a church member, or was baptized, or said and did kind things for more than six decades for thousands of people. Irvin lives forever because he was a sinner saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to God's Word alone, for God's glory alone. Irvin's life consistently showed the world what Jesus looks like, shouting Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." We praise God for the life and witness of Irvin Pearre. To God alone be all the glory. He was preceded in death by his grandson: Kenny Allred. He is survived by his wife: Euphemia Pearre, children: Wendell Roy (Anita) Pearre of Jonesboro, Terrye P. (Steve) Janney of Newnan, Melody P.
