Jerry Wade Hamrick

Jerry Wade Hamrick, age 82 of Bostic, died Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at Hospice House in Forest City.

Jerry was born on July 24, 1943, in Rutherford Co and was a son of the late Theodore Hamrick and Helen Hearn Hamrick. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings,  Marie Hamrick Lancaster, Max Hamrick and Ted Hamrick.

Jerry was a self-employed building contractor in Rutherford County in the 1970s through 1981. He then worked as a construction manager with a commercial building company serving in Asheville, Charlotte and Florida throughout the 1980's.

In 1996 he moved to Pineville, South Carolina where he managed and oversaw the maintenance at Harry's Campground on Santee Cooper Lake. He chartered fishing trips and spent his time fishing and enjoying lake life before he moved back to Bostic, North Carolina in October 2025.  

He enjoyed fishing and going on hunting trips. He took several trips to Canada and Alaska as well as going on a Mission Trip to Barbados in 1974 to build a church.  Jerry loved old western movies, farming, and planting deer plots on his son Clint's property throughout the years. 

He is survived by his children, Clint Hamrick and wife Gina Haynes Hamrick, Chadd Hamrick and his grandchildren Garrett Hamrick and his wife Zea, Chandler Hamrick and his wife Renea, Hayden Hamrick Burgess and her husband Cooper, and his great-grandchildren, Ash Hamrick and Boone Burgess.

His wishes are for his ashes to be placed in Santee Cooper Lake at Harry's Campground at a later date with close family and friends.
