Life Reflections
Jerome “Jerry” Geathers of Orangeburg, SC entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, August 08, 2023, in Simpsonville, SC surrounded by beloved family. He was the son of Joseph Wiggins and Thelma Bookard and Hollis Wesley, who raised him.
Jerome was preceded in sleep by Joseph Wiggins, Thelma Bookard, Hollis Wesley, and his sister Joleta Williams.
Jerome was an avid sports fan and car enthusiast. He enjoyed watching his favorite teams the San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Gamecocks, and the New York Mets. He also loved to laugh and smile and never met a stranger. Jerome was very proud of his two sons and wasn’t shy about telling anyone about them. He also coached youth baseball for the Orangeburg Recreational Department.
He leaves to cherish his memory: his two sons, Jerome (Giovanna) Geathers of Simpsonville, SC, Jason (Tyeisha) Geathers of Atlanta, GA, his sister Jacqueline D. Wesley-Rosa of New York, his stepfather John Bookard of Orangeburg, SC, his step brothers Ronald Zeigler, Reginald Bookard, and John L. Bookard Jr. of Maryland, his three grandchildren Jordan, Morgan, and baby Maverick Geathers; his aunt Ann Lee of Brooklyn ,NY, his niece Hollisa Rosa of Brooklyn, NY, his nephews James J. Rosa & Franklin Rosa of New York, his cousins Carl (Candice) Lee of Pennsylvania, Janetta “Liz” Brunson of St. Matthews, SC; and a host of other cousins, relatives, and friends.
