Gerald (Jerry) E. Skiest passed away on Wednesday, November 25, 2015. Jerry was a longtime resident of the Annapolis area. He was in the automobile business selling and wholesaling cars for over fifty years. Jerry loved meeting and getting to know people. If he were somewhere he did not know anyone, he would know them before he left. All will miss Jerry's carefree outlook and funny personality.

Jerry is survived by his wife (Virginia) and daughters, Alexandra and Stefanie Skiest of Annapolis. Jerry recently reconnected with his daughters, Wendy Schunicht of Texas, Lisa Shoham Lott of Florida, and Stacy Walling of Georgia. In addition, he is survived by two brothers Earl (Roz), and Eugene (Carol) Skiest of Massachusetts and two brother-in laws James Kirchue (pre-deceased by Diane) and Peter Paella (Robin) of New York. He is survived by many nieces, nephews, great nieces, and nephews, and many cousins.

A Memorial gathering will be held on Sunday December 13, 2015 from 2-4:00pm at Barranco & Sons, P.A Severna Park Funeral Home 495 Ritchie Hwy. Severna Park, MD 21146.
