Jerome Seracuse Obituary

Jerome Mario (Jerry) Seracuse was born on June 9, 1933 and died on September 5, 2015. Jerry was truly larger than life and will be missed by many, including his loving wife Linda, 5 children, 10 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren.

Jerry graduated from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Architecture degree and went on to enjoy a successful career as one of Colorado's most highly respected architects. He founded Seracuse Lawler & Partners (SLP) and his diverse projects included The Denver International Airport concourses, Crandon Park Tennis Center (FL), multiple office buildings throughout Denver, and most recently, countless custom homes as a sole practitioner. Jerry's attention to and respect for nature, led to structures that enriched the beautiful land they were built on rather than detracting from it. In 1984, Jerry was honored by his peers, and became a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects (FAIA), a title he wore with great pride. Because of his eye for esthetics, his integrity and high standards, Jerry served on multiple Design Review Boards, including the University of Colorado (8 campuses) and the Denver Technological Center, playing a key role in drafting design standards and guidelines, and ensuring that the quality of those standards were upheld. For his contributions to CU he was awarded the Mack Easton Award; and in 2008, for his 30 years of service at DTC, Jerry was honored with Seracuse Park within the center.

He will not only be remembered for the beautiful structures he left behind, but for his love of life and wonderful sense of humor. Jerry brought joy into everything he did and to everyone he met.

A memorial service will be held Saturday September 12th, 2pm. Grace and St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. 601 N Tejon Street.
