I was sad to hear of Jerry’s passing. May the family take comfort in knowing he was loved and respected by many.

I am very sorry for everyone’s loss of Jerry! He was super to the kids he coached, and super to all his friends! RIP my friend!

Jerry had a profound impact on my daughter. He was a genuine person who put others before himself. We will truly miss his vibrant personality and the effect that he had at Rocky Grove. Denise and Carley thank you for sharing him with the Rocky Grove Swim Team.

I remember playing hide and seek in the back yard, riding bikes up and down our street, the sand box, walking to school, watching you play baseball at Miller Sibley Park, sitting on the swing at the farm, you teaching me how to drive a stick, playing volleyball on the same team, you coming to my rescue more than once, so many wonderful things I can not list them all, but knowing you were always there, was just what I needed. I will miss you my brother, I had to let you go because I love you so very much, till I see you again. Love Leanne

I knew Jerry as a customer of Packard for the past 15years. I will miss our lively and funny conversations. I wish you all peace and comfort during this sad time. I am so sorry for the loss of such a sweet and caring and funny guy. Suzanne Houlihan- Packard Inc. Kennesaw, GA

TO RuthAnne, Denise, Leanne, and rest of family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jerry’s death. I worked with all of you at the hospital “in the good old days” and crossed paths with Jerry often when he was serving the community at CAS. Such a kind, caring, and FUNNY guy. I know he will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you struggle to get through this holiday season. May you find comfort in remembering what a wonderful man Jerry was. Sincerely, Rhonda Steigerwald

It’s hard to say goodbye to a good friend, we’ve grown up together and had lots of fun together my friend, I have nothing but good memories with and about you, my life was better because you were in it. You are in God’s loving arms now and free of the toils and pains of this Earth. Bless you my friend. Gregory Bell & family

So sorry for your loss! Jerry was one of my classmates in high school and I always thought a lot of him! He was a great guy and will be truly missed! I will pray for your family that some how god will help to bring peace to your hearts! I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to attend the viewing.
Sincerely!
Dave Thomas

Denise, I’m so sorry for your loss. We were away or I would have attended. Sincerest condolences, Pat and Dave Hoffman

In perfect fashion of my brothers life this last five months has hit us like a wildfire burning out of control… though the last few weeks the embers calmed and we relaxed into the demise he faced. We’ve cried, we’ve laughed , we’ve shared memories, and we’ve Met with many of you in the privacy of his home paying your respects and helping us all come through. We thank you all for being here to support us, but we want you to know, we are all here to support you… Because that’s what my brother wants us to do… and that’s who he is… and that’s why we all love him equally. Little Jerry is not ready to go yet… He is more full of life than anyone we know. He lives to have fun, and to laugh, bringing joy to everyone around him. He loves all of you, his friends his family , his swim team so much that it ached to think of a life without you… He recently told me; “ I just want to shoot my guns and blow stuff up! It takes me away like nothing else matters.” For those of you who enjoyed this time with him was a special brotherhood for him. He loves you… Some may not know that he was the heart and hands behind all your city fireworks and light up nights, and even pyrotechnics in a movie shot in Pittsburgh . It made him proud to thrill all of you and see the spark in your eyes. These last 5 months of holiday celebrations without him were the least happy times of his life… being absent from you. He gave of himself like no other man I know; except my father… and he walked in life beside our dad in support and respect. I ‘ve always honored him for that… Your son Our brother father husband And uncle Will not be defined by illness… He will raise our hearts from their brokenness by being in every happy memory; Every grateful moment , when he helped us in some unselfish way. He believed in God and everlasting life, and knows he will be seeing us again some day. All HIS concerns were solely, about all of you. And how he couldn’t stay to take care of you. He truly was blessed to feel the Love, respect and adoration of all of you. We ask; Lord, please mend our broken hearts… Little Jerry , we love you forever, may we ALL be at least HALF the kind hearted person that you are… being a blessing to others and pay forward everything you gave to us… ??
