OBITUARY
It is with broken hearts that we share the passing of Jerome Carl Goldberg, lovingly known as Jay, on May 17, 2025, at the age of 45.
Jay was a gregarious, loyal, and passionate loving man whose charismatic spirit left a lasting mark on all who knew him. Born on June 3, 1979, Jay brought warmth and energy to every room he entered. He was the beloved son of Sheryl and Grant Goldberg, a devoted and adoring father to his only son and the light of his life, Max Grant Goldberg, and a proud and protective older brother to Sarah and Tricia. He was adored Uncle Jay-Jay to Jaxon, Levon, and Stevie, a dear nephew to Mark and Lynda and a good friend to many.
Jay’s love for his family was deep, and his presence will be missed. His journey ended far too soon, leaving an absence that can never truly be filled, but his memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.
A service to celebrate Jay’s life will be held on what would have been his 46th birthday, June 3, 2025, 2PM at Chicago Jewish Funerals, 8851 Skokie Blvd. (at Niles Center Road), Skokie, IL. Interment private.
