Jeremiah Lyons Burns passed away unexpectedly at his home in Raleigh, North Carolina at 68 years old. Jerry was born on January 9th, 1955 in Lexington, Massachusetts and grew up in the Nabnasset Neighborhood of Westford, Massachusetts. Jerry spent 37 years living in Nashua, NH with his wife and two daughters. He was a prominent figure in the Nashua cycling community where he worked at Goodale's Bike Shop for 15 years. In addition to his passion for cycling, Jerry loved boating, coaching, hiking, and skiing.
