We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals across the American youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Girard will never be forgotten.

For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I'm home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I'm only a civilian
And I don't even know if it's allowed.

But I salute you; allow me the honor to salute you with permission let me say. Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart my humble gratitude comes from the deepest part. I salute you.
For those missing in action;for those who didn't make it home.
I know you're in God's presence you are not alone.
For every neatly folded flag;for every shattered family
I will do the only thing I know to dignify your memory.

I salute you, allow me the honor to salute you with permission let me say even though I hold no rank know that from my heart my humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.

I salute you.

I Salute You.

From the Lemarr family, I want to express our deepest condolences, Jerry was an amazing person, I watched him play at Hanahan HS as he attended school with my daughter Elizabeth and my son Eddie, along with his brother Jesse. The love for his family and friends was always known and was a true showing of how his Mother and Father raised him. His love for his country was truly shown by is accomplishments he made in short time he served in the military. Not most men or women make the strides he made in a 6 years with out loving what he did. May God be with his family during this tragedy.

Thinking of the Gass family, his SF brothers and friends. What an amazing man to have touched so many lives in such a short 33 years. God speed.

The State of South Carolina and the community of Beech Island mourn with your family. My family and I deeply appreciate S/SGT Gass' service to our nation and his commitment to our freedom. South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has requested that flags be flown at half-staff effective immediately (13 August 2014) until sundown on Saturday, 16 August 2014 in honor of S/SGT Girard “Jerry” Gass, Jr. May God continue to bless the United States of America!

To the family, friends, and military unit of SSgt. Gass, Please, accept my deepest condolences for your loss of "Jerry". We are grateful for his brave service to defend freedom and protect our way of life. His sacrifice will not be forgotten. May he rest in Peace and may you have comfort and healing for your loss.

While we only had the pleasure of meeting Jerry twice, the love he had for our cousin Nancy and their family was evident. We thank you for your service to this county. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with the whole family during this difficult time.

Please know that your sacrifice does not go unappreciated. May God keep you and your family safely in his watch.
A grateful American.

Thank you for our service...

Thank you for your service and sacrifice Sir.

Thank you all for your sympathy and prayers. Instead of flowers please consider a donation, perhaps Wounded Warrior Project, Green Beret Foundation, or something for dogs. He loved them too. Let your heart be your guide.

The family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Gerry was one of the most hilarious and fun people I've had the honor of knowing. Above all else he loved his family and honored his country. He will be missed and always remembered.

What a wonderful person! Words can not say enough!!!

Our sympathies for Jerry's family over this devastating loss. I sing in choir with Jeannie in Mentor and she shared this tragic news. May God hold you close at this difficult time. Our church communities prayers are with you.

Our sympathies at this time of loss. We didn't know Jerry, only thru his in-laws in VA, but our hearts go out to the family. Prayers for all of you
