Jerry Scanlan

Visitation for Jerome T. Scanlan, 74, of Lake Zurich, will be on Sunday, February 15, 2026, from 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM, with Remembrances at 3:00 PM at the Ahlgrim Family Funeral Home, 415 S. Buesching Road, Lake Zurich. The Interment will be private.

Jerome (Jerry) Scanlan was a well-loved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to many throughout his full 74 years of life. He is survived by his beloved wife, Liz Scanlan; children, Joe & Kristin Scanlan, Chris & Joy Scanlan, Mike & Amber Scanlan, Katie & Michael Mais, Jennifer Kurz, Chris Kurz; and his grandchildren, Nathan, Jacob, Grace, Kylie, Kenzie, Nolan, Violette, Jaeden, Brooke, and Elliana.

He was co-owner of the Lake Zurich JJ Twigs for over 20 years & undoubtedly touched many lives and families over the decades with his generosity & amazing food. He has been fighting various health issues over the years and lost his battle today. We are comforted to know he is in peace and not in pain anymore… still, this is an unexpected loss, we thought we had many more years with him.

Him & Liz celebrated over 30 years of marriage and blended together a beautiful family that we all love & cherish. To anyone who knew Jerry, he was always kind, giving, loving, lighthearted, most definitely the funniest guy in the room and the amount of love & dedication he had for his family showed in every action he made in his lifetime. We miss him more than words can convey… it still doesn’t seem real.
