Thinking of you, keeping you in my prayers. . . .
So many good memories of times when Jerome & George spent time together through years of growing up. Both were very special, intelligent, sensitive, talented, caring, thoughtful, adventurous youngster´s and later as young men - missing what they added to my life. Love! Susan Reed

I knew Jerome only briefly when we were at All Saint's. Life took us in different directions and we lost touch, but I remember his smile and gentle manner from way back then. He was real. He was genuine and I know those qualities only grew over time. My condolences

Hi, Joanie and boys,
This is my first time of sending a condolence message on the internet. As you must know, we are devastated about Jerome dying. Chances are he's running into many people that love him and are welcoming him to his new home. Meanwhile, we pray for you and the loss of your eldest son and David and Bobby's big brother. Here in Prescott our hearts are aching for you.
Much love,
Aunt Mary Ellen & Uncle Bob

Joan, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. My mom just sent me the news today. I have many fond memories of Jerome when he was staying at the house in Flagstaff. It probably drove him nuts having a little kid knocking on the door wanting to hang out with him but he was very gracious about it. Loved skateboarding with him and when he would take me around in his baja bug and we'd get different flavored peppermint sticks at the store. My thoughts are with you in this time of sadness.

Dear Joan, Robert, and David, Our family has many happy memories of the Entz brothers---from wee guys to grown men. Actually, we came to know Jerome before he was born. An especially happy memory is of being at the Entz cabin in Oak creek. Jerome came running in to announce that little Bobby had fallen in the creek. Donald immediately ordered all of the boys to go out and fall in the creek---so that would be over and done. We have great memories of the wonderful parties at the Phoenix house with the little boys coming down to say hello before going upstairs to bed. Especially memorable was the "Velcome Vikings" party to celebrate the visit of your Danish friends. Lots and lots of good memories---these few sent with love from Tom and Anne

Hi Entz family, I was so sorry to hear Jerome had passed. From swimming in your backyard pool, to playing off the back of the Parkinson's boat, to hunting frogs on the creek, I have nothing but great memories of Jerome. He was a good man and we will all miss him.

Joan, David & Bobby, please know that you've all been in my thoughts & prayers over the past few weeks. I have so many good memories of times with Jerome here at my home, up in Payson & at Flagstaff with my son, George, and many times 4 or 5 others of 'the gang.' I know what a special person he was - got to watch it as he was growing up - I'm very grateful for those memories. Will be holding you all in my heart & prayers. Love!

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."
— Rainer Maria Rilke

Jerome was a good Man. I haven't seen Jerome in many years, but always had a good time with him back in the day. I spent quite a bit of time with all the Entz boys (Jerome, Dave, & Bob) as we grew up in the same neighborhood & went to grade & high school together. They are all great guys. Back in the early eighties Jerome had a yellow Toyota 4WD Truck that we all thought was pretty cool. He would take us out to the River (Verde & Salt actually) & we would always have a great time. He also took us to the Ted Nugent concert (warm-up bands being the Scorpions & Def Leopard). Holy Cow.....that was quite an event. Brings a smile to my face. Another fond memory I have of Jerome was a weekend at Iron Springs (just north of Prescott). It was about a week before I went to Marine Boot Camp & Jerome & another friend, Jim Biewener, & I went up to Iron Springs & stayed a couple days at my Mom & Jim's cabin. We had a great time......mountain climbing, hikes, a few beers of course, & tons of laughs. Thanks for another laugh & smile, Jerome (a fun memory & trip). Thanks for your kindness & friendship, for looking out for us when we were squirts, & for driving us around when you didn't have to. God Bless you, Buddy. God Bless Bob & Dave (& Mrs. Entz) too. Don't know what to say other than that I Love You Guys & thanks for being my good friends all my life. Jim Helfinstine

I never had the pleasure of meeting Jerome but loved him as I love his mom, Joan. I learned about Jerome and how special he was from his mom and I cherish those talks and her memories.
Blessings to him and his family, especially Joan.
Love,

My cousin Jerome and I spent many hours together when we were growing up. I remember a number of giggling conversations we had -- not so much the exact content, but always the laughter and joy. I looked up to Jerome even though technically I was a bit older than he -- my cool cousin. He was beautiful to look at and beautiful to be with. I send my love to you Auntie Joan, David and Bobby.

Our love and thoughts are with Jerome, Auntie Joan, David, Bobbie and all the family. Jerome was the most handsome cousin – but not the best in a pillow fight.
Jerome, you are in our hearts forever.

Dear Aunty Joan, David and Bobby,Please know that you have all been in our thoughts and prayers over the past few weeks with the loss of your son and brother,Jerome.I haven't been in touch with Jerome in many years, but remember him fondly as a child and young adult during family visits to Phoenix. I remember him visiting us in Carlisle one summer and telling me that he was going to turn into a popsicle as we jumped the waves during a day trip to the beach in Maine! Thinking of you and holding you in our hearts.
Love, Rachelle and Mike
