Jory was a special person to me in so many ways. He was truly unique. I was one of Jory’s (as well as Kristen and Chandra’s) teachers in college.

I am so sorry to hear of Jory’s passing. He was one of my favorite students and holds a special place in my heart. His caring and loving demeanor made him one of a kind. I have so many fond memories of his high school days and even as he was starting his family. ALL of the Giger children (now adults!) made my life so much fuller as a teacher, a mom and a friend. I wish peace and good memories to comfort you all through this most difficult time. Thinking about the entire family. Please know that Jory will be missed yet remembered with a smile.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Jory. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Dear Giger Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Jory’s passing. Please find strength and comfort in the scriptures at a very difficult time. The Bible promises us that we will have the opportunity to see those lost in death again in the near future. Revelation 21: 3, 4 states, “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
With deepest sympathy,
