A Tribute to Jerry Finley

Jerry Finley made everything beautiful. He was one in a million. He was a gifted artist who touched thousands of lives and we are deeply saddened by his passing on October 10, 2021. This GoFundMe has been established to help his wife Tracy during this difficult time.

 

For International Ballet and countless others, he photographed subjects who will forever have his awe inspiring and captivating images of a beautiful moment in their lives. He shot and edited videos that spoke straight to the heart - sharing his heart in the process. He listened to the visions of other artists and worked to bring their creations to life. For those of us who worked with Jerry, this unexpected turn of events leaves us certain that we will not be the same or look the same without him. He was a kind, generous, and gifted artist in the professional realm - while making it his life's true mission to love and provide for his beautiful family. He was a devoted husband and father.

 

Please give to help Tracy as she steps into this next part of her journey with some added financial peace born from the fruits of his gifts and devotion to others. These funds will be used for medical bills, end of life expenses, and to help Tracy as she mourns and manages such a devastating loss.

 

My name is Sarah Shoemaker. I am the Executive Director of International Ballet and the manager of these funds. On behalf of Tracy and their three children - Chloe, Julian, and Atty - thank you.

 

We love you, Jerry. Thank you for everything.
