With profound sorrow, we announce the unexpected passing of Mr. Jerle Lisle Freeze, 67, of Concord, who passed away on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, at Atrium Health Cabarrus, surrounded by his loving family.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 pm on Friday, August 16, 20204 at Wilkinson Funeral Home chapel. The family will greet friends from 12:30-1:45 pm prior to the service.

Born on June 15, 1957, in Concord, NC, Jerle was the cherished son of the late Edna Hartsell Freeze and Nathan Faggart Freeze. He was also preceded in death by his brother, Joel Freeze.

Jerle was a graduate of Central Cabarrus High School and worked for many years at Verizon as a Store Manager in Charlotte. He loved spending time outdoors, tending to his plants and landscaping. Jerle was a passionate history buff and found endless fascination in stories; be that of times of war, the ancient world, or supernatural experiences. He had a deep love for animals, caring for many four-legged friends over the years. Above all, he cherished his wife and daughter, always putting them first in his life.

Jerle is survived by his beloved wife of 38 years, Debbie Medlin Freeze, and his daughter, Mallory Freeze.

Jerle's warmth, curiosity, and devotion to his family will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His memory will forever live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and community.
