Jerry Garfield

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Jerry Garfield, who was born on July 7, 1965, in Boise, Idaho and returned to the stars on August 9, 2024. Jerry was a vibrant soul, whose light shone brightly in the lives of those he touched. As the great poet Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Jerry made us all feel loved, cherished, and valued in his own unique way.

Jerry was a man of simple joys and profound love. His family was his sanctuary, his French bulldog Denali his faithful companion, and his career the channel through which he expressed his dedication and commitment. He was a connoisseur of classic rock, with ACDC reigning as his favorite band. His love for their music was infectious, often resulting in impromptu dance parties in the living room with his beloved wife Tammy. He embodied the quote, "The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well."- Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Jerry is lovingly remembered by his wife, Tammy Garfield. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and devotion - a legacy that will resonate in the hearts of those he loved. His absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, but his spirit continues to inspire and uplift. His memory is a keepsake from which we'll never part. As the Scottish proverb goes, "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."

In this time of remembrance, we invite you to share your memories of Jerry and upload photos to his memorial page. Your stories and pictures will serve as a comforting reminder of the joy he brought into our lives.
