Jody Michael Donald Messer

August 18,1978 - June 13, 2024

Beloved son, brother and uncle

Jody was a lifelong resident of Transylvania County and lifetime member of Boylston Baptist Church.

Jody was one of GOD's special angels. Jody will be remembered for his strong faith. Jody had a beautiful smile that would light up any room and a loud laugh. Jody was always happy and had the biggest heart. He never met a stranger, "only friends he didn't know yet".

Jody's passions were NASCAR, wrestling and gameshows. Jody also enjoyed bowling with his special Olympics friends. Jody loved the time he spent with the Transylvania County rescue squad where he was an honorary member. (Thank you to all past and present members)

Jody was proceeded in death by his mother Sharon Holbert Messer, maternal grandparents, Myrtle McMinn Holbert and Manuel Holbert, paternal grandparents, Roy Thomas Messer, Bonnie and Scotty Weatherman, brothers-in-law, Norman "Booger" Clayton of Hendersonville, and Ira McPeters.

Jody is survived by his father Don Messer; stepmother Pat Singleton-Messer of Pisgah Forest; sisters, Robin Messer Young and (Kyle) of Pisgah Forest, Wendy Messer-Clayton of Hendersonville, Paula Messer-McPeters; caregiver/friend Alexandria Quinn-Cartier, and family friend Jon Overman; five nieces and nephews, nine great nieces and nephews as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

The funeral service will be held at 2 PM Friday, June 21, 2024, at Moody-Connolly Funeral Home. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.

In lieu of flowers the family asks donations be made to Boylston Baptist Church, Transylvania County Rescue Squad or Transylvania County SPECIAL Olympics.
