August 11, 1981 – December 4, 2019

Jerry Esposito, lovingly referred to as B.J. and Bodgey Bear, passed away Dec. 4 in the loving arms of his mother. He had been battling a rare brain disease for a few years.

He grew up in Quincy and Moses Lake, Washington. He was a very loving and kind-hearted person. He was also a straight shooter when it came to giving his opinion; he had the ability to make people mad with that. He could also make you smile with his infectious laugh and sense of humor. He loved music and fast cars.

He is preceded in death by his father Anthony “Tuck” Esposito, his grandmother (second mother) Rose Springfield and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is survived by his mother Renee Esposito; his brother/best friend Tony Esposito; his wife Nancy; his nephews Amit, Gio and Kai and his niece Mahlia; his grandfather (second father) Jerry Springfield; his lifelong best friend Janelle Jirak and many aunts, uncles and cousins. He will be missed greatly, but his family is comforted in their grief knowing that BJ is no longer in pain and is with his family who preceded him in death. Thank you to all the friends and family who have been there throughout his battle.

As BJ requested, there will be no funeral services. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Also, special thank you to the wonderful staff at hospice for their loving care.
