IDO is sad to report that fellow IDO Gold Member – Jason Cerri “Cerri” suddenly passed away at his home on Wed, July 7th. He will be deeply missed and our sincere thoughts and prayers go out to his family, his friends and his son Dominic. Here’s a copy of the obituary.
BYRON — Jason M. Cerri, 35, of Byron, Minn., died Wednesday, July 7, 2010.
Jason Mark Cerri was born Jan. 20, 1975, in Springfield, Mass., to Reno and Judi (Boyer) Cerri, Jr. He grew up in East Longmeadow, Mass., and attended EL Schools until his sophomore year. He attended Bethany Assembly of God Church, Agawam, Mass., and was an avid Royal Ranger and loved the youth group there.
In 1990, Jason moved to Byron with his family. He attended Rochester Assembly of God Church and was active in the youth group and as a LT Commander in the Royal Rangers. He graduated from Byron High School in 1993 and lettered in football and basketball. He attended Evangel College in Springfield, Mo., for two years. He married Petrine Kerkowski on April 6, 2003, and they later divorced. He started and ran his own business, All Star Underground. He was known for his work with a no-nonsense attitude and a keen eye for quality work.
Jason loved everything outdoors: fishing, camping, hiking, hunting, especially his newest adventure of bear hunting with his buddy Jason R. He harvested his biggest buck ever this past fall, a 170+ class 11-point buck, which gave him great pleasure. But his fondest love was his little boy, Dominic. They were inseparable and Dominic was building the same loves for the outdoors that his dad had. Everywhere Jason would go, Dominic was close behind, asking questions, always wondering why. And Jason was always there to patiently provide the best answer he could.
Jason was known by all as a good friend, he was always willing to help. And many knew that and called on him often for whatever the need.
Jason will be sorely missed by his parents, Reno and Judi Cerri, Jr. of Byron; his sister and brother-in-law, Jennie and Jason Ochocki of Byron; his three nephews, Jake, Dylan, and Ryan Ochocki; his niece, Joey (JoJo) Ockocki; his grandparents, Reno and Vera Cerri, Sr. of Suffield, Conn.; cousins, uncle and aunts, and many many friends; but most of all, by his son, Dominic.
Jason loved the Lord with all his heart, he is in the presence of Jesus with no more suffering or pain.
