Born on August 1, 1955, in Virginia, Jerry served his country proudly in the Army, embodying values of dedication and service that carried through to his civilian life. He leaves behind a legacy of love and loyalty, survived by his beloved children, Amber, Danny, and Robbie, grandchildren Tyler, Avery, Chloe, and Alice, as well as siblings Barbara, Shirley, and Leo. Jerry was preceded in death by his parents Leo Cifers and Nancy Payne Gay, and his brother Sam Cifers.
Jerry had a passion for anything creative, and visions of designs for things he could accomplish with his hands.
A Graveside Service to honor Jerry's memory will be held at Westhampton Memorial and Cremation Park on November 20, 2024, at 2:00 pm. The burial will take place at 10000 Patterson Avenue, Richmond, VA 23238, where Jerry will find his final resting place, surrounded by loved ones and the quiet solace of nature.
Today, we say goodbye to a man whose kindness knew no bounds, whose laughter lit up a room, and whose legacy will continue to inspire us for years to come. Jerry Wayne Cifers may have left this world, but his spirit will live on in the memories of those fortunate enough to have known him.

I first saw Jerry on a cold drizzling Wednesday night in March 2024 sitting in a mobile cart full of groceries outside the Kroger. He was sitting there smoking when I went in, 40 min later he was still there when I came out. I stopped to chat and see if I could help, said his hired ride never showed up. I loaded up his groceries, his walker and as he settled into the passenger seat. We became fast friends and I loved helping him with his shopping and other small chores around the house like dishes and putting away groceries. I knew he had family and he spoke of his 2 sisters, 2 sons and daughter. But I never had the opportunity to meet them. I helped Jerry with picking up his medications, he groceries and a few times he called just to ask if I could bring him a large what a burger all the way and a large vanilla milkshake. He had a lot of really bad days and I was so blessed to have gotten to know him and share in his life for 7 months. I will miss his smile. God bless you Jerry. Your friend, April Williamson

Jerry was my neighbor, but more than that he was my friend. He was a very thoughtful and generous man. In all the years I have know him I have never heard him say anything negative against any one else.
Jerry was not a person who gave up. He couldn't walk without a walker, but I have seen him trim his yard. One hand on the trimmer and one on the walker. He kept his yard nice.
He told me once he had fallen off a ladder cleaning a friend's getters.
That's just the way he was.
He also loved Bo, his dog.
He will be missed in our neighborhood.
