Jerry Mac L Pettway Jr.

In loving memory of Jerry Mac L Pettway Jr., a cherished soul who brought joy and light to everyone he touched. Born on August 7, 1982, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Jerry was a beloved son, brother, and friend whose presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He departed this life on October 30, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love and happiness that will endure in our hearts forever. Jerry was the devoted son of Jerry Mac L Pettway Sr. and Neshia Pettway, who cherished every moment with him. His familial bonds were strong and filled with love, shared with his siblings Chevon Williams-Towns, Erica Pettway, James Pettway, and Jamar Pettway, along with his brother-in-law Shaun Towns and sister-in-law Alexis Pettway. He was also adored by a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews, each of whom held a special place in his heart. Known affectionately to his family as "Peppy," Jerry's infectious smile and ability to captivate those around him were his trademarks. He had an innate talent for drawing others in with his warmth and humor. Jerry embraced life with enthusiasm, particularly when it came to his love for dogs. His excitement was palpable whenever he encountered them, and his passion for playing cards was a testament to his playful spirit. Jerry was never happier than when he was outside, enjoying a walk or sharing a meal with loved ones. Jerry's educational journey saw him graduate from Green Road in June 1993, and he continued to enrich his life and the lives of others through his participation in the Adult Workshop. His dedication to attending the workshop from Monday through Friday spoke volumes about his commitment to engaging with his community and pursuing personal growth. As we remember Jerry, we find solace in the knowledge that he was cared for with utmost compassion at Cleveland Clinic Hospital and Select Specialty Hospital Fairhill in the days preceding his passing. His spirit remains alive in the countless memories he created with those who were fortunate to know him. May Jerry's soul rest in peace, and may his memory always be a blessing to us all.
