Singer-actor Jerry Reed dies at age 71
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Jerry Reed, a singer who became a good ol’ boy actor in car chase movies like “Smokey and the Bandit,” has died of complications from emphysema at 71.
His longtime booking agent, Carrie Moore-Reed, no relation to the star, said Reed died early Monday.
“He’s one of the greatest entertainers in the world. That’s the way I feel about him,” Moore-Reed said.

I always enjoyed him. He will be missed.

Rest In Peace Jerry! You will be missed.
Simply a great entertainer! He covered it all, a musician of note, writer, singer, and actor.
If Jerry Reed was on the screen, on the tube or on stage, you knew it was going to be great.
Thank you Jerry!!

Last quote of that article speaks volumes of that man's character. Honesty above all else, anything beyond that is taken at a man's word.
May you rest in peace Jerry.
