Jerry M. Brockey

Jerry Brockey was an energetic, dedicated and inspirational leader of South Seattle College. Because of his personal and professional strenghts as well as his dedication to both the college family and the community that supports it, he stands out among the many college presidents whom I came to know through my work at the State Board for Community Colleges. I am grateful that he chose include me among deans and dedicated administrators at South Seattle Coomunity College. May he rest in...

Some of favorite childhood memories are of my good friend Lisa, and her dad (Jerry) generously and patiently teaching me to waterski. I can still feel their support, encouragement, and celebration in my eventual success. Decades later I ran into "Mr. Brockey" at the grocery store and was amazed that he recognized me and touched by his warmth and interest. I´m grateful for his influence. Sending heartfelt condolences to Lisa, Vickie, Cathy, and Tracey.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of Jerry Brockey and his family.

Having graduated from South Seattle Community College in 1984 I had the privilege of working with and knowing Jerry. He was a man of great honesty and directness. I was a young student involved with student life and he was forever encouraging to me. I always appreciated his help and guidance.
I ran into him at the hardware store several years back and he still had that incredible deep voice that could stop you in...

Jerry and my dad ; Jim Hagerty, were good friends while attending WSU in the 50's , I especially like hearing the stories of them playing football for WSU and both stayed friend throughout the years until my Dads death in 2011. Dad always had great things to says about Jerry. RIP Jerry

You inspired all of us to excellence and encouraged our team to make the CA Program one of the best in the Northwest.
