Jerome Matthew Kelble Jr.

Jerry loved helping people and was generous to a fault. He vividly told stories and enjoyed talking to

people, whether he knew them or not. Amazingly, he never forgot a friend or family member’s birthday

or anniversary and always sent a card. He was passionate about the ocean and all marine life and was

proud to have earned the rank of Eagle Scout at a young age. Jerry graduated from Archbishop Alter High

School in 1974. For many years, he participated in the Catholic Alumni Club and was a parishioner, usher

and greeter at Mary Help of Christians Catholic Church in Fairborn, where he and Teresa Wehner were

married on August 18, 2001. Jerry will be forever missed by Teresa and his family and friends, all of

whom serve as witnesses to the life of integrity and compassion he lived.

Jerry is survived by the love of his life, Teresa, who resides in New Carlisle. Also surviving are his sisters

and brothers; Susan Kelble, Greg (Sue) Kelble, Barbara (Ken) Rinehart and James (Helen) Kelble, along

with his nieces and nephews; Paige (Chip) Pauley, Kathryne Kelble, Alex (Annamarie) Rinehart, Caroline

Kelble and great nephew, Chip Pauley IV.

The family will receive friends on Thursday July 6, 2023 from 10am to 11am at Mary Help of Christians

Catholic Church, 954 Maple St., Fairborn, Ohio. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 11am. Burial will

be at New Carlisle Cemetery.
