Gerald ‘Jerry’ Brendan Daly passed away suddenly on Friday, October 5, while taking his morning walk in Ojai. He was 70. Jerry was born on February 26, 1937 in Dublin, Ireland. He moved to Santa Monica from Ireland in 1956 and the following year married Breda, who would be his loving wife for 50 years. He raised his family predominately in Pacific Palisades and spent time in Brentwood before moving to Ojai in 1999. A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Jerry’s greatest love was to spend time with family. He loved Ojai, the game of golf, a good barbecue and his annual visits to Ireland. His enthusiasm for life and his keen sense of humor will be missed. Jerry is survived by Breda, sons Tim, Kevin, Sean and Terry, and grandchildren Niamh, Sarah, Patrick, Clayton, Hunter, Angela, Conor, Griffin, Hallie, Hudson, and by his daughter-in-laws Candace, Kim, and Deirdre. He is also survived by sisters Eithne of Santa Monica and Freda Kidd of Dublin, Ireland. A rosary will be held at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Ojai tonight at 7 p.m. The funeral mass will also be held at St. Thomas Aquinas tomorrow, October 12, at 11:30 a.m.
