Most of you know that Jer started a battle with colon cancer on Easter weekend 2025. He finished chemo in December, got a clear CT scan shortly after, and had ostomy reversal surgery on January 20, 2026. He had beat cancer, but the effects of chemo on his heart were just too much for him to overcome. We lost him on January 21, 2026. The last thing he said to his surgeon before allowing them to intubate him was “if I can’t be well enough to be a market mule, remember that I have a DNR and advance directive”. I’ll hang one of his baseball caps in the booth as a remembrance. He’s sorely missed.
