Jerry Mann

Sunrise: November 25, 1945 – Sunset: December 26, 2025

It is with deep respect and fond remembrance that we honor the life of Jerry Mann, who passed away peacefully on December 26, 2025. Though Jerry had no surviving immediate family, he was surrounded by countless special friends whose lives he touched in countless ways. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Wanda and Leonard Mann.

Jerry was known for his ever-present smile, his infectious laughter, and his endless stories. His positive, uplifting, and witty personality brightened every room he entered. A vibrant and adventurous soul, he was voted “Most Witty” in high school and proudly served in the United States Navy.

Raised in the Panama Canal Zone he had an amazing childhood with his long-life friends, Jerry eventually made St. Croix his home, drawn to the island’s ocean, its people, and the warmth of lifelong friendships. He was an entrepreneur at heart, fearlessly exploring new ventures including a Christmas tree farm, a sign-making business, and a candle-making company. Jerry loved meeting new people, maintaining old friendships, and helping anyone in need.

He leaves behind a legacy of laughter, generosity, and a life well-lived. Special thanks are extended to the many friends who lovingly cared for him in his final days.

A memorial service celebrating Jerry’s life will be held on January 25, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. on the second level of Shupe’s, Christiansted, St. Croix, on the boardwalk. All who knew and loved Jerry are invited to honor his memory.
