Gerald Miley Obituary

Almost 4 years later, and I still find myself missing you and thinking about you often. You were one of the kindest and gentlest people I knew, and it was a joy and an honor being your friend! You left us way too soon, Jerry!

Three years and I still miss you, my friend. You left us way too soon!

And Hugs and Kisses, my Son! I am SO PROUD of you!!

Shalom and Love,
Mom

Hugs, my brother!

Gerry's light will continue to shine in a special way in the fellowship of love and service through the lives he touched.
Peace be with you Gerry.

I heard jerry give a speach about 8 years ago. He touched me with his humor and helped free me from shame by sharing similar childhood experiences. I was able to make peace in myself from his willingness to be open . I told my mom a story of his just last night, not realizing that he had passed. That is how powerful a legacy he had left for us. My heart is saddened for your loss. My brother died suddenly last year and so I can tell you that the first year is quite a challenge, but persevere. Joy will come. My sincerest condolences.

Gerry helped a lot of people. He was kind to me. I am sorry he has left us. My thoughts and prayers are with him in his continuing journey and with those he has left behind.

Jerry will be missed by so many. Praying for your family during this very sad time and hoping for peace.

Babbie and Family,

I was so saddened to hear of your brother's passing this evening. I will be out of town tomorrow but will be thinking of you all and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers

You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

A life-long friend. What a gift he was to this world! His talent, humor and willingness to help others will remain in the hearts of all who knew him forever. Rest in Peace, old friend. (((Hugs)))

Knowing Jerry over ten years offered many unique conversations. In the last few months, I noticed Jerry as a 'great communicator.' He could listen very well and had such outstanding detail in transmitting simple messages. During a recent moment, when trying to transmit a simple message of extreme gratitude, Jerry was nearly in tears. I was thankful for a nudge from Above to go to him and say: "Jerry, I appreciate you." I wish there was time for one more: one more conversation in letting him know what a great communicator he had become in Love & Service to so many. Thank You Jerry :^)

He helped me more than words can say. One of the most giving humans I have ever known; he will be missed and remembered. There are no words.

We pray for God's Blessings and Peace to be with you during this sad time and for healing of your spirits as you begin to try to move forward.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Jerry's death. I really looked up to him and will miss his joie de vivre, and his sometimes biting humor.

Jerry was a wonderful friend, compassionate listener, and loyal to a fault. Who will ever forget the sound of his laugh? And if he called you "friend," you were blessed. His passing has created a hole that cannot be filled, but the life he lived will always be remembered. We have lost a truly unique human. Prayers for the entire family for peace.

To be absent from the body is to be in the presence of the Lord. Jerry will be greatly missed. I loved to hear him laugh and to make him laugh. Bill's friend,

Jerry was part brother, part dad, part cohort, part spiritual channel. I, too, will miss his laugh, his wave from across the room, his bright (and suspicious) smile, his hugs where he scratched my back. He gave me some of the greatest life and spiritual lessons I've ever known, encouraged me when I wanted to stop and give up, and loved me because of my faults and defects. He taught me about boundaries, making fair restitution, and that I can't save or change anyone. To Jerry's family and fellow Beth Shalom attendees, please know how far his love is felt has travelled and how many lives he has helped.

He was a pebble whose ripples keep expanding in an ever widening circle of love, laughter, and grace.

Sorry for your loss. May the GOD of comfort be with the family at this time of sorrow.

I'm so sorry to hear about Gerry passing. He always had a one liner or some bit of knowledge to pass on. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with your family. Islay Ray

Jerry was an wonderful person and made a large contribution to the lives of many others. I will miss him. Sending love and light during this time of grief to the family.

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Heaven gained another bright angel.

Gerry was the closest thing I ever had to a brother. I can remember bickering with him over the dining room table at one of the many family dinners. Much love to Barbara, Jeanne, Babbie, Elizabeth, Anna, and their families. I am so glad I got to see him at Barbara's birthday party at his best. That is how I will remember him.

Jerry was a kind jovial person. I will miss his infectious laugh. He always had keen incite in our religious discussions.
So sorry for the loss to the family.
May his memory be for a Blessing!.

Gerry was always the brainy one. He will be missed.

I'm so terribly saddened by Jerry's passing. I feel as though I've lost a limb. Jerry was such an asset to my life, truly a special guy! My condolences to your family in this time of remembrance and grief.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I have great respect for my friend and I will miss him. I believe he lived a worthy life and my life was better because he was a part of it.
