Mr. Jerry Royster, Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Jerry Royster was born on February 09, 1966 in Portsmouth Virginia, to the late Jesse Royster and Cecelia Royster. He gained his wings on June 18, 2022. In the late 1970's, Jerry moved with his family to Baltimore City where he later received his education in Baltimore City Public School System. Although he did not further pursue his education, he was an educator at heart and made sure that his nieces and nephews knew the importance of education. Jerry was a man of love and determination. He would not allow his shortcomings to deter him from attending any family functions, appointments, or from his famous pop-up visits to his siblings houses. They would ask “Jerry what you doing here?!” and he would respond “I am coming to see my family!” Jerry later then found joy in his family coming to pop -up on him. He would greet them with hugs, thoughtful compliments and then ask “What y'all doing here?” with a laugh. All who knew Jerry could count on him to ask for a few dollars but, he was also a cheerful giver. He made life simple, down to what he wore (a hoodie, bandana, and headphones). He was fashionably dressed no matter the occasion. Jerry was well known throughout his community and family for his caring heart and his outspokenness. He loved sitting on the porch feeding the cats and listening to one of his favorite songs “A Woman Needs Love” by Ray Parker Jr. His unique personality, energetic spirit, and infectious laugh represented the good that we all need every day in our lives…..to never be forgotten. Jerry was blessed with a large family and leaves to cherish his loving memory five sisters, Diana Holland, Christen Addison, Karen Johnson, Annette Royster, and Deborah Royster; five brothers, Clifton Royster, David Royster, Darryl Royster, Kirk Royster and Roberto Royster; one brother-in-law, Charles Addison Sr.; three sisters-in-law, Jeanette, Patricia, and Janelle Royster and a host of other relatives and friends.
