Jerry William Calentine, 59, passed away on March 27, 2015 peacefully in his sleep with his family by his side. Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Jerry married his high school sweetheart, Sharon Spring in 1974. He moved with his family to Ocoee, Florida in 1979. He and his wife relocated to Melbourne, Florida in 2002.

Jerry was a hard worker who provided well for his family. He worked for Schenck Company for over 25 years, working his way up from salesman to Operations Manager. For the last five years, he worked for Home Depot as a member of the Merchandising Executive Team, servicing multiple stores in Melbourne, Merritt Island, and most recently Clermont. Jerry loved doing yard work. He was never content to stay inside. He loved being outside. Jerry was also known to be a big Ohio State Buckeye fan. He lived and breathed Buckeyes. And anyone who knew him knows this to be an understatement.

Jerry was preceded in death by his father Jerry; his mother Helen; and his sister Dortha.

Jerry is survived by his wife Sharon; daughters Andrea (Eric) and Amy (Andy); granddaughter Addison; stepfather Robert; stepsisters Jill and Jody; half-brother Jerry; and sister-in law Shirley.

Jerry will be cremated and a memorial service will be held at the Glad Tidings Church, 2009 N. Fullers Cross Rd, Ocoee, FL 34761 on April 11, 2015 at 1:00pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that memorial donations be made to Hospice of the Comforter, 550 East Rollins Street, Sixth Floor, Orlando, FL 32803. Sharon, Andrea, and Amy wish to extend their gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and staff of the Hospice of the Comforter that helped to care for Jerry in his last days.
