Jerald Panzer Obituary

Taken from this world on Thursday, October 14, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. Jerald was born on August 21, 1969 in Omaha, Nebraska to Maureen Higgins Panzer and Dr. James Frederick Panzer. Jerry received a bachelor's degree in business administration in 1991 from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln and was a member of the Innocents Society. In Chicago, he completed an MBA at Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management in 2000. He began his career with KPMG in Omaha. He later moved to Chicago to work with KPMG's Transactions Services, and then to KPMG's offices in Los Angeles where he became a partner in 2003. In California, Jerry met Theresa (TJ) Wilson and the couple married in Palm Springs on November 10, 2007. Jerry stayed active professionally, frequently speaking for the Los Angeles Chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth, and he served on the board of Covenant House California. Jerry loved beach volleyball, golf, travel and spending time with his friends and family. Jerry leaves his wife, TJ; his parents, Maureen and James; his siblings, Jill and James Livingood of Charlottesville, Virginia; Jon and Jill Panzer of Omaha, Nebraska; and CH (Cpt) Joel Panzer of Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. He also leaves goddaughters, Joslyn Panzer and Eve Livingood; nephews, Jackson Panzer and Samuel Livingood; and numerous uncles, aunts, cousins and many friends to mourn him. The family has invited friends and family to a memorial service to be held Thursday, October 21, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. with a reception from 12-4 p.m. at The Trump National Golf Club, 1 Ocean Trails Drive in Rancho Palos Verdes. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Covenant House California at www.covdove.org. Please sign the guestbook at www.dailybreeze.com/obits. Please go to the mortuary's website, www.LAfuneral.com to send the family messages, share memories, or to obtain directions to the services.

Jerry was always a smiling face at volleyball. We all enjoyed his company at the beach and he is one of the reasons we love the game. Our volleyball group will miss Jerry and we pass our deepest condolences to his wife and his family. He will rest in eternal peace with the Lord.

I was in shock when I heard that someone my age could be taken from us. I just assumed that we would have a long lasting friendship. I am so sorry for everyone's loss, especially his new bride. We can only hope that there is a much better place out there that he is going to, looking down on us wishing we were there with him.

From "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran:

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."

But I say unto you, they are inseparable.

Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

~May our wonderful memories of the joy, happiness and laughter Jerry shared so freely bring comfort to all. Peace to you, my friend.

Death, be not proud

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
