Tribute to Jeriel Melendez (Jerry)

To All:
 
It is with a heavy heart we announce the unexpected passing of Jeriel (Jerry) Melendez on Saturday January 8, 2022. No one could have have prepared his family, friends, and loved ones for this sudden loss.  

In hopes to bring our dear friends and family peace and closure, we’d like to share the reasoning behind such unfortunate loss. Jerry was taken from us due to the sudden rupture of his appendix. Jerry was really sick in the recent week as he had been suffering from appendicitis. He avoided medical attention due to the lack of medical insurance and fear of hospital expenses.  We hope for this unfortunate experience to remind us all to practice self-care and appreciate our loved ones every chance we get. Jerry was one of a kind!! Full of life, happiness and laughter.  He loved his family as much as he was loved in return.  He will truly be missed.

Jerry, a son, an uncle, a father, a cousin, and a friend leaves behind  his two children,  Alexzander and Jaylin Melendez;  his  mother, Myriam Garcia; and his siblings, Nalett (Nelly) & Girvin (G) Melendez. 

In lieu of flowers,
please consider a donation to help with funeral expenses.
 
During this time, and to allow Jerry’s friends and family to grieve, we ask that communication is minimized to the form of text. Thank you!

Con gran dolor anunciamos el fallecimiento inesperado de Jeriel Melendez el Sábado, Enero 8, 2022

Queremos compartir con nuestros familiares y amigos el porqué de la inesperada pérdida de Jerry . El estuvo con un dolor abdominal por varias semanas . Se le pedía que fuera a emergencias , pero rehusaba ir. No tenía seguro médico, le tenía miedo a las cuentas. la última semana había estado sufriendo de apendicitis. Fue demasiado tarde cuando llegó la ambulancia.  hicieron todo para salvarlo. Esperamos que esta desafortunada experiencia nos enseñe a cuidar nuestra salud mas a menudo. Tener un chequeo médico .  Apreciar más a nuestros seres queridos cada vez que podamos. ¡Jerry era único! Lleno de vida y alegre. Amaba a su familia tanto como ellos a él. Él será realmente extrañado. Descanse en paz. Hay un ángel más en el cielo. Te amo
