Gerald Downs

A good man has left us way too soon. Rest in Peace, JD Steve Kleinstuber

Jerry turned me on to JRR Tolkien, and also influenced me to play guitar. We "Tolkien Heads" used to identify ourselves with one or more of the characters/races in LOTR. I always saw myself as a hobbit, and I think JD saw himself as a Elf. And I agree. Jerry was a wise poet. My first memory of JD playing guitar was his cover of "You're So Rude" by Faces. Jerry was the first person who showed me how a guitar was played. So many good times spent up on the 3rd floor of Golf Road.

A man of many talents. Kind beyond words. Always generous in sharing his passions in life. Thanks for sharing brother. RIP

A sweet soul who has left an indelible mark in my heart

Jerry was a mentor to me and a good friend. Walter Murray

I have many great memories with Jerry. Many of them included Jerry playing music. I really enjoyed listening to him play and our fun times. He will be missed by many.

Keep on Keepin on RIP

My heart is so heavy learning of Jerry´s passing. From growing up with Jerry in Rolling Greens to the precious interactions I had with Jerry as an adult, his gentle, sweet nature was memorable. Rest in peace, JD. You made the world a better place.
