Jerome Russell Pace, 28, son of Steven and Patricia (Drake) Pace, went Home to Our Father on October 1, 2017, after a long battle with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. He was born January 30, 1989, in Phoenix, Arizona. His family moved to California when he was two years old. He was a graduate of Arroyo Grande High School and a former student at Cuesta College. He leaves his parents, a brother, Darrell Wayne Pace, maternal grandparents Oscar and Virginia (Russell) Buracchi of Deep River, Connecticut, and paternal grandparents Richard and Karen Pace of Bremerton, WA, plus many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends of many years. He really loved being a sous chef and working in restaurants. He also loved music, drawing, building models, and writing. He was a creative, handsome young man with a playful and giving nature. In his memory, his family asks that you do an act of kindness for someone else. He would.
