Jason Brinkley

KERNERSVILLE - Jason Franklin Brinkley, 82, passed away Wednesday, March 14, 2018 at River Landing at Sandy Ridge. Jason was born on April 22, 1935 in Surry County to Aldie and Nonnie Bryant Brinkley. He retired from H.E. Crawford Mills with over 20 years of service. Jason was a man of true integrity - a dedicated husband, brother, uncle and friend, who treated others with respect and compassion. His love for family and friends was only surpassed by his love for his wife, Cornelia. They enjoyed traveling to the beach, and the mountains, taking many spur-of-the-moment road trips, the best of which were on a motorcycle! Jason was an avid bowler and also enjoyed the game of golf.
In addition to his parents, Jason was preceded in death by his brother, Ray Brinkley.
Surviving are his loving wife of 57 years, Cornelia Pedigo Brinkley; five sisters-in-law, Elsie Pedigo, Virginia Cockerham (Albert), Margaret Fleming, Carol Miller, and Patricia Brinkley; and several nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends from 1:00 - 1:45 p.m. prior to the service at the funeral home. Burial will follow at the Pedigo Family Cemetery in Ararat, VA.
