Funeral And Burial For Santa Jerry!

Donation protected
UPDATE: Stacey is home and today we found out from Kristis case manager she will be able to come home today! Which means we will officially be able to have a funeral for my uncle Jerry. However we are still quite a bit away from our goal. If you have it in your heart to help please do. Every little bit helps. Even if it’s only $20

UPDATE: Stacey and Kristi, Jerry’s wife and daughter are both currently in the hospital with Covid-19 and Kristi is in ICU. I have received the itemized cost for Jerry’s funeral and the final price is $8600 for the funeral and burial costs. This does not include a headstone

Here is his obituary and if you would like to donate directly to the funeral home there is a link at the bottom of the page!

Hello Everyone!

Most of you probably know my Uncle Jerry. He was a professional Santa Claus and also did magic shows as Mr. Mystic and balloon twisting. My Aunt Stacey helped him a lot and they brought a lot of joy to a lot of children around Christmas time, birthday parties, and family gatherings.  Uncle Jerry Loved Jesus. He always made sure to incorporate in his shows how much Jesus loved us all too.

On July 26th, my uncle passed away due to a heart attack because of Covid-19. Other than high blood pressure, he was a pretty active guy and for the most part pretty healthy. He tested positive for Covid-19 on July 23rd. On the 22nd, he seemed to be showing little to no symptoms. (At least he didn't let it show to anyone that he was). This was all very sudden for my Aunt who is already currently on disability and their only other income was from doing Magic shows and Santa Claus gigs year around. 

My uncle had no life insurance as this was all unexpected and my Aunt simply does not have the finances to give him a proper burial. So we ask you, our friends and family, if you find it in your heart to help out, please donate. All money will go to paying for funeral expenses for my uncle. There's no doubt in my mind my uncle is in heaven now giving the best magic show ever. 

Thanks and God Bless!
