People remember him for being thoughtful and kind, always generous with his time and attention. He had this warm presence, with an engaging smile and a gentle laugh that made others feel at ease right away.
Whether in meetings or just around campus, he brought a sense of care and positivity that touched colleagues, students, and friends alike.
Jerron’s work went beyond just handling human resources duties; he helped build an environment where people felt supported, respected, and included.
He listened well, led with compassion, and genuinely cared about the well-being of those around him. Many who knew him describe him as a true friend and a steady leader who lifted others up.
Kelli Jackson, a family friend, expressed her grief in a Facebook post, which reads:

To honor Jerron’s life, there will be a Mass at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 19, held in the Chapel of St. Ignatius on campus.
After the service, the chapel will stay open from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. as a peaceful place for anyone who wants to remember him quietly or reflect.
The Mass is open to everyone, people from the university as well as the wider community, so those who knew him can come together to celebrate the good he did and the impact he had.
