Legendary singer/songwriter Jerry Reed passed away September 1st from complications from emphysema in Nashville, Tennessee. RIP Jerry Reed. I tell ya, the string of deaths have been extremly random lately.

R.I.P. Mr. Reed :crying:

I'll always remember him, as a lot of people might, from his appearance on "The New Scooby-Doo Movies" where he voiced himself and sang his own rendition of "Pretty Mary Sunlight."

[Fifi Fanatic]

I'll always remember him as Cletus Snow from "Smokey and the Bandit."

R.I.P. Jerry Reed. :(

OK, The Waterboy have been a crap movie, but I enjoyed it, especially Jerry's part in it.

All the good people are going this year.

Mainly know him for that one ep of the New Scooby Movies.

pretty mary sunlight she's alright with me
pretty mary sunlight everything I need
some ppl sit around and watch the world go
by they just don't know the fun there missin
ppl see me happy and sometimes they ask
me why I tell them girls were made for kissing
I don't need to look around I'm in heaven since
I found my pretty mary sunlight turning night to day
pretty mary sunlight never go away some ppl
spend there whole lifes chasing after dreams
dreams I guess they never will believe in
playing foolish games and invinting fairytales
and fantasys that will decieve them I don't need to look
around I'm in heaven since I found my pretty mary sunlight
turning night to day
pretty mary sunlight never go away

Oh, how sad :( I'm embarrassed to admit I only really knew him from his appearance on Scooby Doo.
