I hope this is appropriate to share here. Way back in the summer of 2000, Jermaine and I both lived in some town homes in Aurora called the Timbers. Two other guys Brent and Danny also lived in there. We were all friends for a couple of years. We were 15 that summer and a few of us, possibly Jermaine as well I cant remember for sure worked for the Timbers at the two swimming pools they had inside the development. That was the best summer that I ever ended up having. I still think back to how fun that was. One memory that has never left for sure is a story that I still tell people when the subject of buoyancy of the human body comes up. See Jermaine was quite "jacked" carrying considerable upper body muscle mass for just a kid with pretty much no fat. I swear he must have walked around at 5% body fat or maybe a bit lower naturally. Thats Olympic athlete level of leanness. The summer that we worked at the pool, we naturally, ended up going swimming a few times. Jermaine was so lean that he couldn't actually float in the pool. The guys and I didnt believe him at first and tried to adjust his technique but sure enough, he sank like a stone right down to the bottom. I've heard people say that anyone can float you just have to relax and sort of hold your breath. Not Jermaine, not back then. R.I.P. man. I wish I had a photo to share.

I was friends with Jermaine way back when we were in Highschool. I still think back on those old times fondly, occasionally wondering how everyone was doing these days. This really caught me off guard. R.I.P. Jermaine. There are certain rap songs I'll hear from time to time that remind me of you because you were the one that showed them to me. I remember you dabbled in beat boxing back then and were incredibly talented. My condolences to his Mom Sandy and all of his friends and family.

Today has been a year since you went home to be with our father in heaven. The tears still flow like the very first day you left this world. I went to see you today and I still can't beleive that you are not with us anymore. I wish that I could bring you back but I guess God needs you more than I do. I just want you to know that I will never forget you. You will always be my baby. ~Mom~

Warm summer sun,

I do know however, that you will be there in spirit and mind, in me, your mom and the many other friends and family who will be attending a wedding. On my wedding day I will give a special shout out to you. I love you and miss you, my friend, my family.

Jerm,
Where do I begin?!?! I miss everything about you! I miss getting the late night phone calls of you telling me to get up and talk to you. I miss you walking into a room and you putting a smile on everybody's faces, just by being you. I miss our long conversations, I could always count on you “keepin' it 100 with me”, even if I didn't want to hear it. I miss your smile, your laugh, PRG "The Block", our nights with all us acting like we didn't have any sense and so many other wonderful things. I have realized how many people you touched in your physical life here on Earth and still do to this day, although you are no longer with us. Even though you are gone you will ALWAYS be in my heart. I will live my life everyday like it is my last, just as you did every day with a huge smile on your face and your contagious laugh to go with it. I am truly blessed to have had you in my life. I love you Jerm, I will see you at the crossroads and I know you will be there waiting for me with a drink in your hand saying, "Hi Yenny." I will never forget you; God blesses us with people like you very rarely, thank you for giving me the time you did. XOXO. To the family, I will always be here for each and every one of you, for whatever you all need. Please remember he is in a better place, looking down on all of us with a smile!

I still can't believe you're not here. I keep expecting you to call me and say wanna go do something. I remember the times when I would drive you to work at Frito Lay and we would talk about music. The "GOOD MUSIC". I do miss those times, but not as much as just kickin it with you when I stayed with you for those couple of weeks. You will never know how much that meant to me. You started out as a friend to me and along the way you ended up like family to me. I will always love you and think about you. Keep watching over me and the others like you have been. Love you, J.

I feel LUCKY to have known Jermaine as a child. I knew from the first minute I met him and I looked in his eyes and saw his smile that he was a VERY special soul. He was the kind of person that when you where in the same room with him you could feel his light and were drawn to him for that reason. He was a gifted person and singer and could not help making you smile and laugh in his presence. I am HONORED to have known him and I can't say that about very many people I've known. His mother Sandy was a great mother, supporter and friend to him. I was always amazed where she got her strengh from all these years to have done what she did for her children with all the hardships she was faced with. May you RIP my friend knowing how many of our lives you have touched and filled with joy and laughter. All my love to you and your family, your friend Sabrina Gagliano King XOXOXO

Jermaine,

Psalms 23rd

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. surely goodness and mercy shall follow meall the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

From our family to your family, may GOD keep his hands around you at all times, and may your relationship with GOD be daily.

God Bless,
Carrie

Look into my eyes and explain why? The tears are a blur but I want to know. Its tearing my heart in two. All you give are flashbacks of our past lives
A childhood that was full of laughs with my favorite Barbara friend. Sesami Dough Girl was my name, Oops, I mean Esa Mi Dough Girl. I always got them mixed up and you would just laugh. Its so hard to accept and understand, maybe its just my selfishness that I want you here. That selfishness that you knew very well. One that you reminded me all the time just because when I was 5 I didn’t let you ride my pink Barbie convertible. Maybe if I had let you ride you'd be here. Who am I suppose to cry to now?You were there when my heart was broken. Telling me how beautiful and perfect I am, perfect in your eyes because you loved me. Reminding me how you've had a crush on me ever since we can remember. Yet our love for one another was much more, knowing we would always have one another no matter what our love situation was. Talking bout me rapping and you beat boxing and together we'd become famous someday. All the new experiences we had together I will never forget and to think about all the plans we had for the future. To think I will not be able to share them with you but in my heart you will be always. Watching over me as if you were next to me. Moving forward as best as I can but "If heaven was a mile away, would I pack up my bags and leave this world behind?"....I Love You Jermaine!

From the time we were born till the time we were adults you were my best friend. All the trouble we got into and all the memories we shared. I will never forget the Love we had for eachother.I was honored to have you as my cousin and best friend. I am glad my children got to live and spend so many wonderful moments with you. You were so kind and loving. You always knew how to make everyone laugh. You always had a smile on your face. You always put everyone before yourself. You truly knew what love was and you were loved just as much if not more. I love you so much and may God enjoy you as much as we did here on Earth. We will miss you till the end and rejoyce when that day comes that we meet again. Jermaine you were the most amazing person I have ever known and you touched my heart for 26 years. I Love You @-}---

Dear Sandra & family,

I remember what a loving mother you were to all three of your kids. You made sure they had a home cooked meal EVERY night. I used to envy you because I couldn't boil water.

I remember how sweet and loving Consuelo was to her brothers. I especially remember how affectionate she was. She used to help me out with the twins, Mario and Gabby and I'm amazed she still had energy left over for her brothers.

I remember Nicholas/Khalil and my boys playing one time when their mom wasn't home. Nicholas accidentally shot little Mario in the mouth with an arrow. We just reminisced about this when we heard the news about Jermaine. The boys told me Nicholas told them it would feel better if he ate a popsicle. Needless to say it all turned out fine and hopefully Nicholas kept his "archery" skills fine-tuned.

I remember Jermaine wanting to pick up our infant son, Lucas. We finally let him hold him while he sat on our couch. He was ever so gentle and loving with him.

You are a loving, caring and beautiful family and I am SO SORRY for your loss.

Sincerely,

Stephany, Mario and the boys (Granillos)

Although I never had the honor of meeting Jermaine, I know that my brother, mother, and my father (his grandfather) have been blessed by knowing him. He may not have thought so, but his life enriched all of those whom he touched, especially that of his mother and siblings. Perhaps in heaven, he will find the peace he was looking for and discover that he was truly treasured among us here on Earth and by our heavenly Father above.

To The Family of Jermaine Anthony Rodriguez Realize, though, that no matter how much we love another person, we cannot control his life, nor can we prevent “time and unforeseen occurrence” from befalling those we love. (Ecclesiastes 9:11)But there are so many things I wish I had said or done,’ you may say. True, but who of us can say that we have been perfect father, mother, or child? The Bible reminds us: “We all stumble many times. If anyone does not stumble in word, this one is a perfect man.” (James 3:2; Romans 5:12) So accept the fact that you are not perfect. Dwelling upon all kinds of “if onlys” will not change anything, but it may slow down your recovery. May all the Family please accept my deepest condolences.

You were such a sweet loving kid. You always made me smile. Even tho you moved away from the village, no matter where I saw you or after years you would always come up to me give me a hug and a smile and then you would ask "do you remember me?" and I would say "yes Jermaine I remember you. But how is it you remember this old lady. And then we would both laugh and you'd hug me again. I'm going to miss that alot. You will be dearly missed. God Bless You baby. I love you.
