Support for Jerome Erickson and Our Family

Hello,

My name is Bridget Erickson, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to share that my husband, Jerome, has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor.

Jerome is one of the most extraordinary people I have ever known. He has always been full of life, energy, and compassion. His passions were endless, but some of his greatest joys came from amateur radio, experimenting with new technology, and flying drones. He had a deep love for space exploration and never missed a rocket launch. He even had our home 3D printed, which perfectly reflected his curious mind and forward-thinking spirit.

Jerome loved his work and his coworkers. He spent more than 20 years in the broadband and telecommunications industry where he made a lasting impact as a leader, mentor, and friend. In his most recent role as Director of Data Center Operations, he transformed the organization by adopting new technologies, standardizing processes, and driving innovative cost-saving strategies like cooling containment aisles in his data centers. He never stopped pushing forward and always led by example.

Jerome is also a family man through and through. He is a loving husband, a devoted father, a brother, and the proud dog dad of two very spoiled pups. His family has always been at the center of everything he does. He is the kind of dad who is never too busy to help with a school project, fix something around the house, or spend quality time with the kids talking, laughing, or exploring something new. He has shown our children what it means to be patient, strong, and generous with both time and love. When I suffered a stroke, Jerome stood by me through every step of my recovery. He was my rock, always encouraging me, always showing up. Now I am doing everything I can to be that same support for him. Jerome has also given so much to his community. He has been deeply involved with the Ronald McDonald House Charities and has always found ways to help others. Giving was never something he did for recognition. It was simply part of who he is.

This diagnosis has changed our lives very quickly. Right now, we are focused on spending as much time together as possible, surrounded by love and comfort. This fundraiser was created to help cover medical expenses, hospice care, and to support our family during this incredibly difficult time. Every donation will go directly toward easing the financial burden and allowing Jerome to be surrounded by peace, care, and the people who love him most.

If you are able to give, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you are not in a position to donate, we are so grateful for your prayers, your kind thoughts, and for sharing this page with others who may want to help.

With love and gratitude,

Bridget Erickson
