RIP Jerome Kersey

[PtldPlatypus]

Just heard on the radio that friends are reporting that he passed away. I didn't catch any details, but I thought he deserved a thread ASAP.

 

[Strenuus]

... What?! I didn't expect this...

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

What?! He's younger than my mom even...

 

[craigehlo]

Always a fan favorite. Damn.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Oh my God... So sad if true.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

what????

[illmatic99]

What? That came outta the blue!!! No way

 

[Rastapopoulos]

 

[Strenuus]

Oh man. Out of nowhere. He was just doing events within the last two weeks. So, so sad. All the condolences to his family during what must be a very, very difficult time.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Confirmed...

 

[riverman]

Heartbreaking news....this makes me really sad. Happy Trails Jerome!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Wasn't he working for the Blazers? I know I saw him on TV just recently.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Puts a big damper on the excitement of the trade deadline. Thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones.

 

[Boise Blazer]

No.... This devastates me. Oh man. Thoughts and prayers. RIP Jerome.

 

[TBpup]

Such a sad day. He was so young, newly married.....hope he had things taken care of for his family. A tragic loss.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I wonder what could've happened? Heart attack maybe?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yeah this hurts. Very sad indeed

 

[Sinobas]

holy shit! I wonder what happened. He's been on the post game shows and seemed fine. So many pro athletes die young. Jesus....2/5ths of the great starting lineup from 1989 team gone.

I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure he was at the player palooza...

[Fez Hammersticks]

Wow. This really sucks!

 

[BlazerWookee]

Sigh...

 

[-Ace-]

He's the only Blazer I've ever met, and he was a total class act. Damn.

 

[kingslayer]

Simply unbelievable.

RIP Jerome

Yep Jerome was only 52.

 

[craigehlo]

Tragic. He was easily the Blazer I've just seen out and about in Portland the most in the last couple decades.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

One of my favorite Blazers ever, gave it all he had always. He will be missed.

 

[MAS RipCity]

I'm not ready to lose my childhood heroes yet. First Duck, now Mercy ... FUCK ... Not only was he one of my favorite Blazers ever, he was a great guy who loved the city. I can't right now ...

 

[riverman]

Jerome was a Blazer lifer! Loyal loveable guy. His candle burned bright for 52 years. A proud symbol of Blazer history. I hope they show a dedication on the jumbotron at the next homegame
