Adios mi amigo you were one of a kind and a friend of mine.
one day all of us will get separated from each other. we will miss each others company, happy hours, rallys, the list goes on and on. days, months, and years will pass until time takes its toll and we rarely see each other again. Our children will see our photos and ask, “who are these people”? we will smile and with an invisible tear in our eye say, “it was with them that we had the best time of our lives”. Jere, along with Ronnie, was instant friendship. Jere, you may have left us but you will never be forgotten and we will all carry your memory until we make our own last rally. rest in peace, dear friend, we love you. I will miss your “joeboy” calls.

I have known Jere Brannon most of my life I was 19 years old when I met him at the Southwest Center for Advanced Studies He taught me everything I needed to know about computers and more We stayed intouch with each other often especially these last few months His wife Ronnie was the love of his life and he was blessed to have her until the end Much love to Ronnie and her entire family
Ronnie just saw on Facebook that Jere passed away we enjoyed seeing you both and Texas Star at the bus rally in Loudonville, Ohio. It was always a pleasure to stop and chat with him. He always made you feel so welcome and always had a smile and a story, that we looked forward to, We always walked away from chatting with him feeling happy and humble as he always had a positive, loving good natured feeling about him. He was a true Texas gentleman and we will miss him very very much. Please know that you and the family have our deepest sympathy The Strock family
Although I was really young the last I saw you, I will never forget you Uncle Jere. I hope you Rest In Peace.
