Jerry Wayne Roope

Jerry,
You were always a great person to be around. You were funny, goofy, smart, and you were welcoming, and loving and caring to my family and I. You were absolutely the most wonderful grandfather to my babies; Mckynzee, Kylei and AJ. They love you oh so very much Jerry. I appreciate you being there for my kids and I wouldnt have wanted anyone else. YOU ARE THEIR PAPOOL ALWAYS AND FOREVER! No one else fills that spot, no one. We told the kids. They werent happy. They asked millions of...

Jerry, still can't believe you're gone, way too early. You went through a lot in your short life, but you always had a positive attitude and always treated everyone with respect. Linda and I were so happy for you when you and Kim moved to Virginia, something I know you wanted to do for a long time. I know you're in a better place but it's really hard for for all of us living without you. RIP my friend and brother in law, you will be missed....love you buddy!

I am so glad that I was able to spend time with Jerry on Friday Aug 12. We had a good talk. Memories of Barry. Memories of our childhood. The Roope's visits to Dublin and ours to Ohio. Good times with great family members.
Love and Prayers for the family.

Jerry was the baby in our family and we all loved him so much. He grew up to be a very kind and caring man. I am so thankful that we was by brother and that he was in my life as long as he was. He had many good friends and it helps to see the kind words people have written about him. My son James Holland Jr. was especially close to him. They had many things in common. He will be missed so much by a lot of people. I was able to spend a few days with him and his wife Kim at their new home...

I grew up with Jerry in Colunbus ,Ohio. I lived right down the street. We played baseball,football,basketball all through elementary,Junior High and at Columbus North. We hunted and fished constantly. On weekends I stayed at his house more than mine he was a great friend. As we grew older , I don't know why but we kinda grew apart, for that I am truly sorry. I still consider his friendship one of the best parts of my childhood. When I read this, this morning, it hurt like I was still right...

Back in the '80's I worked with Jerry at JC Penneys. There was a group of us that would hang out at Little Sicily's after work. I will always remember the good times we had with Jerry. My prayers are with all your family and friends.
See ya around Jerry :)

How do you tell someone you long for every minute Goodbye. You made me feel more loved in 9 yrs that a person would normally feel in a lifetime. I will love you forever and aday. Save me a seat next to you, and we'll do this again in another lifetime. I LOVE YOU!! Your Wife, Kim

I worked with Jerry at Family Dollar and I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I pray for all the friends and family during this sad time.
