Following a lengthy battle with cancer, Jerry Ritchie, a charter member of Gold City, who sang with the group during the early 1980s, passed away just after midnight this morning (July 1, 2008) at his home in Nesbit, MS. Mr Ritchie is survived by his wife, Cheryl; son, Greg and wife Charlotte; son Jason, and wife Autumn; as well as one grandson, Landon; four granddaughters, Jayna, Isabella, Gabriella and Elliana, as well as two sisters and one brother.


The Ritchie family will receive friends on Wednesday, July 2, beginning at 12:00 noon at the Tutor Memorial Funeral Home in Pontotoc. A Memorial Honor Guard Service will be held on Thursday, July 3 at 2:00pm at Cook Memorial Baptist Church in Houlka, MS.


In lieu of flowers, the Ritchie family has requested that donations be made to the Tutor Memorial Funeral Home, 270 Coffee Street, Pontotoc, MS. Cards and notes of encouragement may also be sent to the Ritchie Family in care of Tutor Memorial Funeral Home

Will be remembering the Ritchie family in our prayers! I remember those days with Jerry, Ken, Bob & Tim and the full band. It was a lot of fun and I think of some of the crazy things that happened often!

Rejoicing with him but grieving with the family!

Same here, DeeAnn. I didn't know Jerry, but it sounds like the group was good together. It's a blessing to be able to remember the good times at times like this, isn't it?

I remember Jerry with Gold City. My thoughts and prayers are with the Ritchie family.

I too rejoice over his homegoing but also pray for the family.

So sorry to hear of their loss, I just read on Charlotte's blog that he wasn't doing well.
