On the 6th of December, our lives changed forever. Jerome passed away suddenly and without warning. We are still in complete shock and struggling to process such a heartbreaking loss.

J was loved deeply — a partner, a dad, a grandad, a brother, a son, a friend and a light in so many people’s lives.

J brought a little bit of sunshine to everyone’s lives. His warmth, humour, and kindness lit up every room, and his presence made even the hardest days feel lighter. Those who knew him will forever remember that spark.

We never imagined we would be preparing for his funeral right now.

As you can imagine, the costs of arranging a funeral are overwhelming. We want to give Jerome the respectful, loving goodbye he truly deserves, but we simply don’t have the financial means to cover everything on our own.

We are reaching out to our family, friends, and community for help. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean so much during this incredibly difficult time. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page to help us reach others who might be able to help.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, support, and compassion.

With love and gratitude
