Jerrod Penic

Jerrod battled Cystic Fibrosis his entire 13 years of life and he did it with strength, dignity and style. Through everything he never complained, always giving the thumbs up. His spirit was loving, kind, caring, and cheerful. He loved to play practical jokes and his sense of humor was just outrageous. Jerrod was a sports fanatic. He was a fan of the Raiders and the Dodgers and watched them faithfully. He knew when other teams lost and he would make sure their fans knew it. Video games were one of his passions and he could beat most everyone at any game. He loved challenging the staff in competitive gaming proving to them he was the best!!!

Jerrod spent a large part of his life in Childrens Hospital in Madera and Los Angeles. He felt very comfortable with the staff and truly considered them part of his family. We would like to express our gratitude for the wonderful people that provided such outstanding care, support, and love to him and his sister during their lives.
