Jerry Edgar Hare Jr., age 60 of Peoria Arizona, passed away on June 10, 2026 peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer. Though his time ended far too soon, Jerry filled every year with laughter, love, and a spirit that lifted everyone around him.

Jerry is survived by his devoted wife, Judy Hare; his father, Jerry Edgar Hare Sr.; his sister, Penny Hare; and his brothers, Kevin Hare and Scott Hare. Jerry found eternal peace alongside his daughter, Ashley. His family was his pride, his anchor, and the source of his greatest joy.

Jerry was deeply loved, and his absence is felt by all who had the privilege or knowing him. His memory will live on in the stories shared, the laughter he inspired, and the love he gave so freely.
