I am so sorry about the loss of Jerrod-so sad! The Mustaf family has my deepest condolences and I pray that you will be surrounded continuously with love and support. As you go through this difficult time, may Almighty God give you "everlasting comfort" (2 Thess. 2:16).

Jerrod was a gentle giant of a man. He exemplified all the good things that makes DeMatha a "special place". He was humble, kind to others, and caring. Years ago I was keeping score at a lady's high school basketball game at Clear Spring High School vs. St James. I watched a very tall young lady running down the court. She brought back a memory of watching Jerrod as the young lady was his daughter. After the game I spoke to the young lady that she so reminded me of her dad. She instantly smiled and it was Jerrod's smile. God Bless Jerrod!

I knew Jerrod for many years, we went to DeMatha together and we both worked at the Greenbelt Safeway together. He was a really good guy who could be a lot of fun. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing and send my deepest condolences to his family.
