Jerry Antonio Nuñez

Jerry Antonio Nuñez, born on January 7, 1994, in the vibrant heart of Michoacan, Mexico, left us too soon on May 23, 2026, in Centralia, Washington. His passing marks not only the end of a cherished life but also the closing of a chapter filled with passion, love, and inspiration that will forever linger in the hearts of those who knew him.

Jerry’s journey through life was one enriched by a diversity of interests and talents that painted a vivid portrait of a man who embraced every moment with zeal. From the intensity of sports fields where he admired football and wrestling to the creative sanctuary found in drawing and cooking, Jerry was a soul steeped in the joys of living. His love for music provided the soundtrack to his days, and his devotion to reading the Bible revealed a spiritual depth that grounded him through life’s challenges and triumphs.

Educated through his years in high school, Jerry carried with him the lessons of perseverance and kindness that shaped his character. Yet, more significant than any formal education was the way he touched lives — a testament to a man who was as gentle as he was strong and as thoughtful as he was energetic.

Jerry is lovingly remembered by his son, Anthony Andres Nuñez Risling, who will carry forward his father’s legacy with youthful hope and determination. The bond they shared was a beacon of joy and purpose. Alongside Anthony stand Jerry’s siblings: his brother Alex Hernandez-Nuñez, and sisters Eslibed Newkirk and Michelle Luque-Nuñez, who each reflect pieces of his spirit in their laughter and stories. Their shared memories form a tapestry of support and love that will forever keep Jerry’s memory alive.

His mother, Delfina Nuñez Sanchez, remains a pillar of strength amidst the pain of loss. Her love, both enduring and unwavering, encapsulates the lifetime of nurture and care she bestowed upon Jerry—a bond unbroken by time or distance.

Jerry's family also mourns the passing of his beloved grandfather, Antonio Nuñez Picazo, whose presence now joins Jerry in eternal rest. This lineage of love and remembrance binds generations together, ensuring that Jerry’s story is not one concluded but woven into the continuing fabric of family history.

In remembering Jerry Antonio Nuñez, we honor a man who lived with heart and hands open wide. His laughter, his strength, and his kindness will echo in the lives of all who encountered him. Though he has departed this world, the imprint of his spirit remains indelible—an everlasting light guiding those who loved him through their days ahead. May his soul find peace, and may those left behind find comfort in the rich legacy of a life beautifully lived.
