Jerry "Chip" Pace

Jerry "Chip" Pace, aged 78, passed away on March 10, 2026, in Bonita Springs, FL. Born on August 31, 1947 in Cleveland, Ohio, Chip wasn't just the kind of guy that walked into a room, he danced into it! Chip proudly served in the Army from 1967 - 1969, followed by a successful 30 year career with Local 310.

Chip was defined by his generosity and fierce loyalty. He was the friend who always showed up and the man who made sure everyone around him was wearing a smile. Whether he was on a boat, throwing darts or just sharing a beer, he lived with a full steam ahead attitude and taught us all how to "laugh and giggle".

Chip was the beloved son of the late Jerry Pace and Antoinette Hirsch (Pace) and husband of the late Annie Pace. Chip is survived by his daughters, Gina Alarid (Kevin) and Denise Fuller; grandchildren, Katie Shepard-Kleinholz (Dan), Sydney Robinson (Todd), and Max Fuller; great-grandchildren DJ Kleinholz, Antoinette Kleinholz, and Henry Robinson; as well as his siblings, Bob Pace and Cindy Pace. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews who will miss him dearly.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Chip's vibrant life at Northeast Yacht Club, 14321 Lakeshore Blvd, Cleveland, OH 44110 on May 18, 2026 at 3:30 PM.
