Funeral Costs for Jerry Blanch

Donation protected
Sadly, Jerry Blanch, beloved father of Krystal and Jared Blanch, departed this Earth on Thursday, January 28, 2016.  In this trying time, the family is reaching out to family, friends, and the community to help aid in burial costs.

Jerry, Krystal, Krystal's husband Paul, and their two children recently moved back to Morristown in order for Jerry to receive better medical care. Six years ago, Jerry moved to Tennesee to help his daughter and her growing family after the devastating and sudden death of his former wife, Krystal and Jared's mother Victoria Blanch. Unfortunately. three years later, Jerry became the one who needed help. He had been diagnosed with COPD, a chronic lung disease, and it became a much more dire situation. He needed to be placed on constant oxygen to breathe. Krystal and Paul exhausted their resources in order to get him the best care possible, which included packing their home and moving back to Jerry's hometown so he could be closer to the best specialists to treat this disease.

Tragically, Jerry did not have much time back in New Jersey before he took a turn for the worse. Krystal and Paul are still in the process of gaining full-time employment and have depleted the majority of their funds moving their family back home. Jerry did not have life insurance or saved funds; his disease prevented him from employment the past seven years and his pre-existing COPD condition prevented him from obtaining life insurance at a reasonable cost. 

Jerry's family will be meeting with the funeral home in a matter of hours to discuss what options are available to them. As of now, Jerry's plans are uncertain. Absolutely any contribution possible would mean the world to his family during this difficult time. Let's make sure this beloved father, grandfather, and friend receives the burial and celebration of life that he deserves. 

With love and gratitude, thank you.
