Dad, I will miss you so much. You were there for me my whole life and taught me so much. Your grand babies will miss you dearly, especially Hunter. But don´t worry I will take good care of him. Hopefully you and mom are getting along up there. I love you Dad

Jerry always had a smile full of love and joy. You felt RIGHT at home with his generosity and kindness. What you saw is what you got. Treated everyone with the same love. His laughter was so contagious! He had this inner child that came out; so funny and dorky. He had quite the sense of humor. He was also a sensitive and compassionate man.
He loved strong and that is how he loved Tina, his grandchildren, and his family.
He was my brother-in-law and a dear friend.
RIP Jerry. Gone too soon!

I have SO many memories, your dad was one of the block parents once you came around! I remember all through middle school and part of highschool him being like a second dad, giving us chores to do before we could leave somewhere. Seeing him again in 2016 at your house for Halloween night, when he hugged me it was literally like I was a kid all over, your dad always brought a smile to my face with his infectious laugh and dad jokes. He was always a hard worker, always made things happen for you both and loved you and your babies so much. I was lucky to have known him, and I'm thankful to him for giving me my best childhood non bio sister. My love and condolences to you and your family
