We are heartbroken to share the sudden passing of our beloved Jerel DeMarco. Jerel was a son, a brother, a nephew, a cousin, an uncle, a friend, and so much more. He was a bright light in all our lives, remembered for his warmth, his humor, and the deep love he gave so freely to those around him.

Over the past few days, many of you have reached out with love and asked how you can help. Your support means everything. In response, we’ve created this GoFundMe for anyone who feels called to contribute. The most meaningful way to help right now is by supporting the arrangements to honor Jerel’s life and legacy with the care and celebration he deserves.

We are so grateful for your kindness, your prayers, and for the community that continues to surround Jerel and our family with love.

With heartfelt thanks,

The Family of Jerel DeMarco
