My brother was funny in a way that could catch you off guard, and endlessly alive in the way he talked. When he loved something, he talked about it—relentlessly and joyfully, as if stopping might cause the world to lose an important detail.
When we were kids, that gift for persuasion was already there. He was ten when he told Will and me about a place giving away puppies. He spoke with such confidence that before I knew it, we were on our bikes, riding home with a puppy we named Georgie. When Mom asked, we said Jerry was just puppy-sitting. Somehow, she let us believe that for a while. Georgie stayed.
We didn’t always have an easy relationship, but we learned how to meet each other exactly where we were. It didn’t come quickly, but I am deeply grateful we got there. It was important to me that he knew he was loved—and I believe he did.
A few years ago, he sent me a long, honest text about how he saw me and the changes I had made in my life. I reread it now like a map—proof that we truly saw each other.
I love him. I will miss him deeply.
And though he is gone, his words still reach me.
In that way, he is not silent at all.

Hi, I'm sure you all know Stev had an older brother! That brother is me. I am Rob, and me and my girls Ariel and Ariana want to express our deepest condolences to all his family and friends. I didn't know him well, but he was best friends with my brother and I know he will be missed! So sorry you are all having to grieve! May God Bless you with strength and peace as you go through such difficult time! RIP Jerry!

Just terrible. My heart goes out to everyone that knew and loved Jerry.
Us cousins have not spent time together since we were kids, but still seems like it was not that long ago. I will cherish those memories for the rest of my life ❤️

I had the pleasure of spending time with Jerry a few times, and he was always kind, gracious, funny, and easy to be around. One visit stands out in particular. Kitty and I went to visit him, and he was especially charming that day. He began flirting with me in a playful, lighthearted way. Kitty chastised him a bit and tried to stop him. I told her not to. Jerry was much younger than I was, and I loved every minute of it. It was very sweet.
He started calling me “Kitty’s little friend” after that. There was something so endearing about the way he said it. I think that small moment in time captured who he was, warm, funny, and full of life. It is a memory that always makes me smile.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family, Kitty. I had the pleasure of meeting Jerry with you and I loved watching you two together. He was so energetic and so excited to be working out with us and sharing his passion for personal training and helping people reach their fitness goals. His personality was infectious and I will remember the warmth you two shared. His humor and big heart shined bright. Praying for peace for your family as you navigate this journey and loss of Jerry.

I was so saddened to hear of Jerry’s passing. He was always helpful, with a ready smile. I will be forever grateful for how he helped us when Olivia was battling cancer. My sincerest condolences to Jerry’s family and all those who loved him. Rest in peace, my friend.
