"We gather to celebrate the life of Jerry, a beloved man who lived by his faith in Jesus and brought warmth and joy to everyone around him. Known for his kindness and selflessness, Jerry always put others before himself, offering a helping hand and a listening ear to those in need. A skilled electrician by trade, he loved working with his hands, especially in woodworking, crafting pieces that reflected his care and dedication. Jerry also had a gift for conversation—he loved to talk, sharing stories, laughter, and wisdom with family, friends, and even strangers. Above all, Jerry cherished his family, and his love extended to his church family, where he found fellowship and support. He was a guiding light and a trusted friend. Jerry leaves behind a legacy of love, service, and faith that will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit remains with us, an enduring example of kindness, grace, and devotion."
