Hey there, Friends and Family.
It’s been a long week waiting for this day, but we are finally here. As many of you know, we had to postpone the service, but today we are ready to say our final physical goodbyes to Uncle Jerry. The sun is shinin', and we’re gathering to honor the man the right way.
I’m writin’ this because I want us all to take a breath before we head to the church and remember the man for who he truly was. We ain't dwellin' on the sadness right now; we are focusin' strictly on the good things, ‘cause Lord knows Jerry gave us plenty of ‘em.
What We’ll Miss Most
When I look back at all our posts and conversations over the years, Uncle Jerry was always the steady rock in the background of our wilder adventures.
The Stories: Nobody could spin a yarn like Jerry. Whether we were sittin’ on the porch swatting mosquitos or deep in the swamp waitin’ on a bite, he had a way of makin’ you laugh until your sides hurt. He held the history of this family and this land in his heart.
The Heart: He was the kind of man who’d give you the last crawfish on the tray or the shirt off his back if you needed it. He didn't care about being rich or famous; he cared about his people. He made sure we always knew we had a place to call home.
The Wisdom: He taught us that it ain't about how fast you go, but about enjoyin’ the ride. He kept us grounded when things got crazy with our Monsters games or just life in general.
The Memorial Details (Updated)
For those coming to pay your respects and swap a few of your own "Jerry stories," here are the final details for today:
When: Today, Thursday, December 11th, 2025
Time: 3:00 PM
Where: Holy Cross Church
Come ready to smile through the tears, y'all. We’re gonna send him off with the love he deserved.
Programming Note: That’s it for me today, folks. I’m unplugging now to get ready for the service and to be with family while we mourn. That's why I got all my posts done early this morning—this is the last one. I appreciate the love and support through the delay. I'll see y'all on the flip side.
Rest easy, Uncle Jerry. We’ll keep the fire burnin’ for ya.

Hey there, Friends and Family.
It’s a heavy day on the bayou today, but the sun is still shinin’ through the cypress trees, just like I know Uncle Jerry would’ve wanted it. As most of you know, we have to say our final physical goodbyes to him today.
