A Vicksburg man was killed early Saturday morning in a one-car wreck on Mississippi 3.

Jerimey J. Hoye, 28, 5369 Cary Blanton Road, “lost control of his vehicle and was ejected,” about 12:20 a.m., said Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol spokesman Sgt. James Walker. The wreck happened a half mile from U.S. 61 North.

Hoye was a native of Rolling Fork who had moved to Vicksburg. He was the father of a 9-year-old daughter, Shatevion Brown of Anguilla, and had been planning to marry, said his oldest sister, Wanda Jackson Williams of Greenville.

Williams said her brother had been headed home from a friend’s house. “He lost control in a curve, and the car flipped.”

She described him as quiet, but friendly, and willing to share with anyone. “If he had something, you could get it.”

Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said Hoye was found 15 or 20 yards from his 1995 Buick Skylark. Warren County Coroner Doug Huskey pronounced Hoye dead at the scene, at 1:11 a.m.

“He died from head and chest trauma,” Huskey said. “There will not be an autopsy.”

Hoye was an employee of Steele Farms in Avon, said Williams. His parents are Walter and Sadie Hoye of Cary, she said, and three of his sisters live in Vicksburg, one in Anguilla, one in Lawton, Okla., and one in Chicago. Two brothers live out of state.

Walker Funeral Home of Rolling Fork is in charge of arrangements.
