Born to eternal life on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at the age of 57 years. Beloved husband of 32 years to Lori Jean (nee Jacob). Loving father of Amber (Matt Hoppe) Millen, Jerome Jr., and Emily (Jeancarlo Irias-Puerto) Millen. "Bonus pops" to Elizabeth (James Bakalarski) Garcia, and Erick Garcia. Loving papa of Bentley, Ava, Liam, Cataleya, and Lillyana. "Bonus grandpa" of Dakota and Tevin. Dearest brother of Rebecca (Joseph) Johnson and Leanna Millen. Son of Christine Millen. Special cousin of Kenny V. Further survived by nieces, nephews, and other friends and family. He is preceded in death by his father, Jerome Millen and father - in - law, Gerald Jacob.

Jerry was born and raised in Bay View where he met his lifetime sweetheart, Lori, in 1987. They married in 1993 and ended up having three children together in five short years. Jerry enjoyed fishing, bird watching, feeding wildlife in his yard, playing cribbage & gin. Watching Nascar, baking, manning the grill, and in later years, spending time playing games on his iPad and listening to his many playlists. Jerry was a man of few things, the things he loved, he loved deeply. It didn't take much to keep him happy. And everyone knew his grandchildren gave him the most joy in life.

Special thanks to Lily Hospice for the utmost amazing end of life care & staffing, especially Mallory RN, Veronica RN, Alyssa (Al) CNA, and Erika, MSW.

Visitation at the Funeral Home on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. Funeral Service will begin at 6:00 PM. Jerry will be laid to rest privately at a later date.
