I first met Jerome many years ago at a Ford dealership. I walked into the dealership on a Saturday just several minutes before closing after an afternoon of car hunting. Jerome was so gracious to help me at this late hour and I ended up purchasing a car. Over the years my family ended up purchasing numerous cars from him even when he moved over to Chevrolet. He was an outstanding gentleman with a great sense of humor. I've lost track of the number of cars we purchased from him. I just found out in October, 2024 of his passing and am so very sorrowful for his family and associates. His life was cut way too short and will be greatly missed both professionally and personally.
I just learned of Jerome's passing, he sold me my Cadillac one year from today, he was a very kind and wonderful person,I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I met Jerome at the Cadillac dealership. He was extremely helpful. As our conversations became more frequent, it became obvious that he a man of great knowledge. We would attempt to solve "the problems of the world!" He loved this family and his community. Rest in Peace Jerome!!! Wanda and Kim Adams

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. I know how much you love, me, As much as I love you, And each time you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In heaven far above And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad, The thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, Would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did My heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne. He said, "This is eternity, And all I've promised you. Today your life on earth is past But here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, And since each day's the same way, There's no longing for the past. You have been so faithful, So trusting and so true. Though there were times You did some things You knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven And now at last you're free. So won't you come and take my hand And share my life with me?" So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart. -David M. Romano
May it be a source of inner strength to know that there's a loving God watching over you and that, throughout this time of need, He'll stay close by your side. Our Deepest Sympathy. Agnes Jones and Rodmann Jones
JΓ©rΓ΄me knew his life's purpose. I believe he lived a purpose driven lifestyle. I would believe it was stewardship. He was a great steward to his family and to everyone he encountered. Jerome wanted nothing more than to see others live a more fulfilling life. He did some many things for his family, friends, coworkers, and complete strangers. Jerome was a leader, selfless giver, was full of energy and drive. You didn't just meet Jerome, he changed your life. He was what they say a GAME CHANGER! My prayers go out the Bullock, Jefferies, and Henderson family. May God give you the strength.
Jerome you were loved by the entire Vegan House Shack family, you will truly be missed, and never forgotten. May you rest in power
