Coach Jerry Steele is remembered by all Wake Forest fans and by his many friends near his farm in Madison. Also, his wife, Kitty, is a special lady.

Miss you and always remember you.You did so much for people. Love you I still have my High Point University Shirt you Signed for me.

Kitty and family, I send you sympathy and prayers in the loss of Jerry.

You both served our college and High Point Universiy in so many wonderful ways and impacted the lives of so many young people in a positive manner. He will be remembered for doing so much for so many. May God comfort you and bless you. Sincerely, Mary Broos

The Madison area in Rockingham County joins with Kitty and her daughters in mourning the death of a very nice man and wonderful coach.

We, in Elkin, remember Jerry and are proud to have known him. Memories of sitting in Miss Whitley's math class at Elkin High School , she knew then that Jerry was destined for a great future and he passed on the values that he experienced with his teachers there.

Dear Kitty, So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of sadness. Big Hugs for your comfort. Much Love!!

Sending heartfelt condolences to Jenny and Cindy and the rest of the family. May memories of your father bring you comfort and joy. Thinking of you, Mindy

Coach Steele was the first person outside my family to come see me after my hand accident. He had been through the same thing. He was very honest with me. I won´t forget him. God bless his family.
