Jerry O'Neil Gaskill

Obituary Jerry ONeil Gaskill, 82, of Sea Level, passed away on Monday, April 13, 2020 at Croatan Ridge Nursing Center of Newport. Jerry was a faithful member of Sea Level Missionary Baptist Church serving as a Deacon, Sunday School teacher, and various other ministries. He was an active member of the Sea Level Cemetery Association, an organization that cares for the final resting place of many Sea Level residents. Jerrys love for his family was unquestionable; helping not only to raise his daughter, but playing a significant role in raising many of his grandchildren. While some unexpectedly become fathers, Jerry chose his role as father and gave unconditionally. His devotion to his wife and family is something not experienced by many and will be deeply missed. A private graveside service will be held at Shell Hill Cemetery with Pastor Vel Hightower of Sea Level Missionary Baptist Church officiating. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Elizabeth West Gaskill of Sea Level; daughter, Sheila Willis and husband, Earl of Newport; son, Michael Nichols and wife, Patti of Savannah, GA; grandson, Matt Hill and husband, Simon of Morehead City; granddaughter, Kristin Marceau and husband, Pete of Newport; grandson, Caleb Willis and wife, Elizabeth of Morehead City; granddaughter, Jessica Nichols of Savanah, GA; grandson, Benji Nichols; granddaughter Amanda Williams; granddaughter Kimberly Williams; special great grandson, Morgan Marceau of Newport; and niece, Tresa Willis of Atlantic. Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, Delmas and Leona Gaskill, and his sister, Sharon Willis.
