Jut was born on April 2, 1928 the youngest of 12 children of Avery & Attice Jenkins.  He was fortunate to be born in the same house he spent his life in, until he became a resident at MCRC. In addition to his parents & siblings, Jut was preceeded in death by his loving wife of 51 years, Billie Mae Vaughn Jenkins & son-in-law Duval Tabor, step-Grandson Donavon & special friend Berthlene Flener.

He is survived by his 4 children Linda Mae Tabor of Bowling Green, KY, Danny (JoAnn) Jenkins of Bowling Green, KY, Dwight (Allison) Jenkins of Leitchfield, KY, Dwayne (Lisa) Jenkins of Morgantown, KY; 4 Grandsons Justin Jenkins of Bowling Green, KY, Daniel (Netanya) Jenkins of Zippori, Israel, Nick (Erin) Jenkins of Quality, KY & Dean Jenkins of Owensboro, KY;  3 step-grandchildren Sarah (Rob) Matheson, Jason Tabor & Caden Cardwell; 2 great-granddaughters Emersyn Mae Jenkins & Jubilee Mae Jenkins; 6 step great-grandchildren Madison York, Wesley McChesney, McKenna McChesney,  Dillon Tabor, Bri Matheson & Bailee Matheson; 1 step great-great grandson Jaydon Tabor; brother-in-law Gene (Evelyn) Vaughn & sister-in-law Patty Vaughn.

He was a member of the Huntsville Baptist Church & actively involved with the Mt. Zion Cemetery Association. Jut worked for Felmont Oil Co., City Service Oil Co., Rockwell Int., Emerson Electric, TVA & he retired from the KY Dept. of Highways.  However, his favorite job was simply being a Farmer. He loved planting a big garden & sharing it with neighbors & friends. Pappy Jut was an avid fan of UK Wildcats Men's Basketball. Other than God & his beloved family, the 3 things he loved most was the family farm, his tractor & beloved dog Angel II. Jut seemed to never meet a stranger & loved to talk & share stories from days gone by.  If Pappy Jut liked you, you had a friend for life.
