Jerome Anthony Logwood, born on June 14, 1942 in New Orleans, Louisiana, to Ethan Logwood and Ida Washington Logwood, peacefully passed away at his home on March 2, 2026, at the age of 83.

Jerome was a man of great strength and character who lived a robust and meaningful life. He was a devoted husband to Evelyn Mae Smith Logwood, who preceded him in death, and a loving father to their children Michelle Polk, Dawn Marie Logwood Wells, Clark Polk, Stephanie Ann Logwood and Tony Polk. He was also preceded in death by a cherished daughter, Gabriel Anderson Coleman.

Jerome was a dedicated longshoreman, spending his working years contributing to the vibrant maritime industry of his beloved New Orleans.

Jerome is survived by his children, nine grandchildren, and 18 great-grandchildren, as well as a host of nieces and nephews. His legacy of love, hardwork, and family unity will live on through them and continue to inspire generations to come.
