On October 21, 2024 at the age of 71, Louis S. Jennings III more lovingly known as Petey departed this earth to join our heavenly father. He was born on July 23,1953 in Memphis, TN to Alma Young and Louis S. Jennings II. Louis gave his life to Christ at an early age and was a member of Greater Southside Missionary Baptist Church. He graduated from Hamilton High school in 1972. Petey was a people person who loved cooking, music, and entertaining. Despite spending much of this year in and out of the hospital he never lost his ability to charm others with his contagious smile and amazing sense of humor. His ability to crack jokes and uplift others instead of focusing on his declining health was something to be admired. His dynamic and strong presence will forever be missed.
His loving spirit will be carried on by his wife Iris White-Jennings. His children Kenneth Jennings, Tasha Smith (Reginald), Erica Jennings, Montoya White, and Whitney Goodman (God given). His grandchildren Jessica Burgess (Roy), Kenneth Jennings II, Logan Jennings, Nyla Smith, Kaylynn Jennings, Kyia White, Desmon White and Addisyn Owens (God given).
