Marcia, Jennifer, Jill and family, Our hearts break at the loss of Jerry. He was a great man with a heart of gold and love for his family. We pray for your comfort as the shock of such a huge loss of a wonderful man, husband and daddy. May you find peace in God's arms. Love, Rodney and Deborah

I think all of Jerry's co-workers considered him a friend; that's just the kind of guy he was. What a tremendous heart! He will be so missed by so many people because he touched so many lives in such a good way. Having gone through the loss of his own sons, he was always among the first to go to someone at work who had lost a child of their own, and I'm sure he went to others with the same loss. On a personal note, he organized and lead the crew, including a son-in-law, who built a ramp and small deck to allow my husband access to our home again while he was recovering from a broken leg and shoulder. I tell that story often. Of course, it doesn't surprise anyone; they just smile, nod, and say, "Yeah, that sounds like Jerry." I know Jerry loved to be with his family because he would talk fondly about the many family gatherings. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this devastating loss. Many hearts are sad at the University, especially Facilities Management, but I know your hearts are even more sad. God's blessings to you all.

My heartfelt condolences to all the Ramey family. Through the university and working with Karen I came in contact with Jerry and always admired his sweet and generous personality, his many talents, and his work ethic. My thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.

Nancy Sloan - Friend

I just read about the recent death of Jerry and I know Marcia and the Ramsey family and loved ones have saddened hearts today. So I wanted to share beautiful scripture where our heavenly Father, Jehovah, (Psalm 83:18), promises us that He is going to do away with man's greatest enemy, death. Rev. 21: 4; "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. Isaiah 33:24 guarantees us: "And no resident will say "I am sick," ever again. God's kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt. 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises, including the resurrection. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection. (John 5:28, John 6:40, John 11:23-25, Acts 24:15) Isaiah 26:19 "Your dead will live......And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death forever. For Jehovah himself has spoken it." For more comforting scriptures please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt. It has given me hope, strengthened my faith and helped me find the answer to Why? I know it will do the same for you. Jehovah invites you to throw your burdens on Him and He will sustain you in your time of grief. Psalm 34:18 my email address is: myranj@centurytel.net I pray it will bring some comfort to please watch this beautiful video entitled "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize" https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/VODChildren/pub-pksn_24_VIDEO
