Jerry Nicholas Ballas
January 9, 2005 ~ August 20, 2023
Tess and I do not like flowers so please do not send any. Instead please donate to these 2 charities below, they are both working for a cure for the exact cancer Jerry had. When Jerry was diagnosed in April of 2021, he said “If everyone paid this much attention to cancer as they did covid we would have a cure for cancer right now.” Please pay ATTENTION, donate as much and as frequently as you can to:
Little Warrior Foundation:

Wings For Ewing’s Sarcoma:

Also, and this is just as important, Jerry had received up to 50 pints of blood and platelets trying to fight this cancer. He was never denied anything. Please donate both whole blood and platelets as much as possible. Please get on a schedule so you don’t forget. TRUST me there are a lot of cancer patients out there, young and old! Here is a link but you can just google “donate blood” in your area.

I wasn’t personally close to Jerry but every time I saw him I would instantly feel the light he emitted. He was truly a good soul and an even better friend to those around him. I’m truly sorry for your family’s loss. May he rest in peace.
