Jerry Wayne Broome, Sr. passed away peacefully after a hard-fought battle with cancer on January 2, 2020 at the age of 65. Beloved husband of Janis Guccione-Cheramie Broome for 43 years. Proud father of Jerry W. Broome, Jr. (Krystal) and James R. Broome (Jessica). Devoted Papa of Jacob A. Broome, Joshua J. Broome, Jonathan R. Broome, and another expected grandchild. Son of the late Ethel Hagedorn Broome Gervais and John Walton “J.W.” Broome. Loving brother of Pamela Broome Lupin. Also survived by many nieces, nephews, and loving friends. Jerry worked in the Oil and Gas Industry for 40 years. He volunteered his time to the Knights of Columbus Council 1905 where he served as the Community Director and was a 3rd Degree Knight. He lived his life to the fullest and enjoyed simple pleasures; music, cooking, spending time with his boys, and patrolling around Gretna in his truck. He loved to put smiles on the faces of others by telling jokes and funny stories. “Until we meet again, may God bless you as he has blessed me.”-Elvis Presley.
