Mr. Jernigan was born in Pitt County, NC, on January 17, 1991, the son of Michael Allen Jernigan and Mary Ann Evans. Christopher was always known as a hard worker with great work ethic and excelled at his job as a heavy equipment operator. When he wasn’t working, Christopher loved spending time with his family, especially his grandmother. They shared such a special bond and he made sure she was always taken care of.
