“It is with a heavy heart that I have to tell you all that Jethro passed away peacefully this evening surrounded by the people that loved him the most,” said Nunes via Facebook. “The last 10 months have been excruciatingly hard and we will all miss Jethro so much. Thank you all so much for your thoughts, prayers and generosity during our difficult time. As plans come together for a Celebration of Life for Jethro everyone will be informed. Thank you all again so much.”
