Hello everyone, this fundraiser is for my dad, Jerry (Gerard) Mercado. On October 18, 2024, at 10:18pm, Jerry passed away. He fought a long and strenuous battle over the past 13 years. During his stay in the ICU at KECK USC, many complications arose from his comorbidities, which would eventually lead to his body being unable to recover from surgery.

We have made arrangements to fly his body back to Guam. Upon his arrival we will arrange for his funeral.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as the cost to prepare his body for transport will be high.

I encourage anyone who has had the opportunity to know my father to share your experiences and photos with our family. Reach out to me if you would like to do that.

Thank you all for your love and support during these hard times. Jerry would be so happy to see all of the love he has in this world.
