From East Point to Metro Lanes Jermaine has always been a person that stands out. We have been friends for over 10 years now. Jermaine always would let you know how he felt, how he was bowling and you could always count on him to be there in support of whatever I was doing. He is one of a few bowlers who had been into my home and knows my family. My wife and I had a opportunity to pray the prayer of salvation over him some years ago. So, I believe he is in a better place. He will be missed. RIP Jermaine!

RIP Jermaine

RIP bro, you will be missed

Jermaine we will all miss you.RIP.

Being new to the Atlanta bowling scene, I only new Jermaine for a short while, but every time I seen him he was always laughing and smiling. I could tell just by how he carried himself that he was a good hearted person, and talking to some of his close friends confirmed that. May God bless his family.

fells like i bowled next to him last week but it was prob a year you will be missed

life is one of things not to be taken lightly. one minute you're here and in another instant you're not.

no one leaves home ever thinking they may not see their friends or their family again. tragedy can come at any given moment.

i can't believe that he's not here with us anymore. the bowling scene will never be the same without him.

he brought his unique personality to the bowling alley all the time. i'll miss him.

I've known Jermaine just about as long as i've been bowling which goes back to the East Point days. Like some of you said, he's one of those guys that always told you how he felt about something, sometimes whether you liked it or not. He has always had a unique sense of humor that kept him laughing and made others laugh as well. You know he loved the sport of bowling because he bowled every chance he could. He's supported RealBowlers over the years in many of the tournaments we've done and for that we are grateful. His unique personality and energy will be missed. Rest in Peace. Love life and live it like theres no tommorrow......dont let a day go by without letting those you love know it. Peace

Jermaine..wow..there are not many things over the years that have brought tears to my eyes ..but there are tears even now as I write..what a special friend you were to me, one of my greatest supporters and astute critics..I will miss his very keen observations, positive attitude, and his love for the game..I have very fond memories of our East Point Triangle days..and many tournaments where we struggled or succeeded together..man--we had a blast on your 21st birthday when we both stumbled into our respective homes(although I had to push you through your open window)..wow ..it`ll NEVER be the same....love ya lil bro..RIP.....

Jermaine you will be missed dearly. When I first moved here he was one of the few who reached out to meet me and my family. He was a kind hearted person who would do anything he could for you. I had the chance to be around Jermaine outside of the bowling center and he was a good person. A few years back, he had won some money pot bowling and it was around De'Mon and I anniversary. He said, "man, i'm going to take ya'll out to dinner, where ever you want to go we can go", "I may not ever get the chance to do it again but I'm taking ya'll out tonight." That was just the kind of person he was if he had it then you had it. De'Mon and I are greatful to have had him as a friend. May you R.I.P. we will miss you

I concur with my daughter's comments. Jermaine was not always the Jermaine you seen in the bowling center. When he seen me the first thing he would say was "Hello Mom"" and give me a big hug. His mom and sister and him was one of the first families who welcomed us into Atlanta's bowling world. My heartfelt prayers goes out to his mom and his entire family. We don't know what God's plans are but we know he never makes a mistake. Look to Him for He is the only one who can help in a time like this.

This incident really saddens me. Although I didn't know Jermaine as well as most of you, I will miss him. He was always, always nice to me and welcomed my smile and presence. I will never forget the day he put himself in the mix to prevent a fight from happening at Suburban. Almost single-handedly, he prevented chaos in the alley. I will remember him as being a caring, outspoken, sincere guy. You always knew where he stood and how he felt. In this town, that is a rarity and something that I will truly miss. May he rest in peace.

I am still in a state of shock. Jermaine was one of my team members years ago at East Point. We bowled in the City of Atlanta League. He would always give me respect and he would get the same. If he wanted to use profanity he would make sure that I was not near him at the time to hear it. That was always so funny to me. Most people didn't understand him if they didn't get to know him as a person. If he won any money bowling he wanted to share with everyone who was around because, he would give if he had it to give. One thing that I loved about Jermaine is that he would keep it real and say what was on his mind. My prayers go out to his family.
Jermaine will be truly missed.

Wow! I am in total shock. Jermaine and I have always been Cool with one another. Outside of bowling Jermaine and I had some personal conversations, and you could tell that he wanted to change the direction that his live was headed and I reached out to him to give him some encouraging advice, and I regret the fact, I probably could have done more. You will be truly missed!!!!!

Jermaine it was hard to play last night. I'm sure a lot of friends felt the same way about the lanes last night along with me.You will be missed R.I.P. Jermaine.

Jermaine....what can I say, you'll be missed, you and your spunky spirit!!!! You've always had a way of letting people know exactly whats on your mind.(alley conditons, who will win, and what alley should have a great turn out). I have personally seen you grow from a youth bowler (East Point days) to a man fighting for a REAL BOWLERS title.....rest in peace!!! God bless your family during this time.

Our thoughts and prayer are with Jermaine's family to help them during this time. Peace & Blessings!!!

Hey Jermaine,
I say hey to you like your still here and in my heart you always will be.
My prayers go out to his family and everyone who knew him.By the way will someone tell Jack Jackson to please call me,Greg has my number.Love you Jermaine....rip...

Jermaine was a very nice person who had a great sense of humor. I got to know him for a few years and I cant believe that I won't see him at the bowling alley anymore. He was someone who was in good spirits everytime i came in contact with him. He will be missed. I pray the peace of god and restoration over his family. Life is too short, tell your friends and love ones that you love them.

Well what can i say to a strong competitor, my friend, and my Brother. Im still in shock it still hasnt hit me but day by day since saturday its hurting more and more . Its funny friday night we hugged when i was leaving only if I knew it was for the last time, Ive known Jermaine since I was 13 growing up in youth league.People said alot of things about him from a loose cannon, too wild, whatever they said he was our loose cannon our family we didnt always see eye to eye but he always had my back. Giving anything he had to help his friends and for that how can you not respect and love him. There"s a song that best describes our brother and its from the Lil Wayne cd
(You understand me now if sometimes you see that I'm mad, Dont you know no one alive can always be an angel when everything goes wrong you see some bad, But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good O' Lord please dont let me be misunderstood. Love You Bro Never Forgotten

Damn Jermaine...you checked out on us! I'm sure you're in a better place than us you left behind in this jungle we call the world here on earth. I know you're smiling AS USUAL. It was a pleasure to have met you and I enjoyed EVERY bit of the laughs I had when you were around. I'm glad I got to see you a few weeks ago, I had NO idea it would be the last time. Your smile and raspy voice will be missed! To the family I say there is no earthly sorrow that Heaven can not heal. May God comfort you and be your rock in this time of bereavement, this too shall pass.........Take Care

Words can't not explain how much Jermaine will be missed and how painfu it was to hear of his passing. I've known Jermaine for many years. I will missing hearing Mommah, I would always pick at the way he would say Momma. Rose, Crystal know that God makes no mistakes, know that Jermaine was truly love and the sound of his voice, his competitive spirit and even that hot head that had a gentle internal surface will forever be missed. Jermaine was the book that should not be judge by the cover, but turn the pages and the warm heart and good spirit was right there, waiting to give that son hug, or that brother to brother love. RIP Jermaine.

Hey bro this is kid. I don't know how life will be without you. When I first started bowling you gave me many tips and lessons and the name kid. We have been through many things in the short time I have known you. I remember staying up all night playing tiger woods. Not many people knew this but jermaime left behind a fibe

Sorry I'm using the I phone but he left behind a five month daughter. I love u and u will never be forgotten I have to many stories to tell for you to be forgotten. R.I.P

Jermaine it's still hard to believe you are really gone. I had the pleasure meeting you two years ago at a bowling tournament. Each time after then you would greet me with a smile and a hug and the routine was still the same even on your last Friday here on earth. Jermaine you will be truly missed and you will always have a place in my heart. Here are my last words to you...
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

To the Woodruff Family:
You have my deepest sympathy and I will keep you in my prayers.

Jermaine, Rest in peace my buddy. Pat and I are going to miss you. You left us much too soon, a victim of our violent society. Peace my brother. Thanks for your love.

"THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD"

Rest In Peace Jermaine! Thanks for being a good friend and all the memories you left me with. You are gone but not forgotten. You are "THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD". Til we meet again you will always be in my heart.

Twister your spirit, unending love to excel, your competitiveness and devotion for all you loved will truly be missed and never duplicated. I've known you for more than half of your life and watched you grow from a teenager into a man. You had your own way and we who knew you understood and respected you for that. Jermaine we had many talks about various topics much of which was bowling. (Your true love). Although we didn't always agree you were always willing to see and respect the other point of view. There are no words that can ease the pain I feel right now, there are no explanations that will ever help me to understand why, but I believe in a God who through his wisdom never ever makes mistakes. I pray for your mother, sister, and child. I also pray for all of us who loved you and will miss all that "makes you Jermaine." The following passage is for all of us who will miss you and love you. Lamentations 3. 31 For no one is abandoned by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion because of the greatness of his unfailing love. I will never forget you my brother, my friend. I know that you've found rest in the arms of the almighty. We are all made better because you.... RIP

My heart was saddened with the news about Jermaine. I saw him at bowling on Friday night at Suburban and he seemed in a quiet spirit. This was hard for me to believe. My sons and I met Jermaine in the youth bowling (YABA) league at their young ages and continued in the adult bowling leagues. Our prayers are with you Rose and your entire family doing this time. Just know that GOD is still with you and HE will see you through. Always keep your hands in GOD's hands and HE will continue to strenghten you always. Yvonne & Sons (Scottie & Sedrik).

It's been years since myself and family saw Jermaine. We meet him in the YABA league as kids. He was a little bit older than my brother and myself but he was always down to earth and a good dude. I was shocked when my brother told me the news of his untimely death but I know he is in a better place right now. Best wishes to him and his family. "My GOD BLESS HIS SOUL" The Freeman's send their condolences.

R.I.P. JERMAINE

I'm still in shock. I find myself thinking about Jermaine every night before I go to sleep. Jermaine you will be dearly missed. I will miss your smile and your personality. To the family, Psalm 121: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth..... The LORD will help your family through your time of sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you. RIP Jermaine.

Jermaine was always there for me threw out my bowling, always put me up in any thing i do wantd to see me do big things and i really miss him. R.I.P Jermaine i'll neva forget you .

My sincerest condolences to the family of Jermaine Woodruff. He will be truly missed by his peers. I pray that God keep his loving arms around you during these trying times. May the love of family and friends bring you comfort. May prayers are with you.

From God we came, to God we return! May Jermaine be welcomed and blessed in the hereafter. Love Always, -Nisa

RIP my good man. We will all miss your intensity on the lanes.

I thought it was funny when Jermain introduced himself to me as 'Phat Boy' and he is my answer to my cold nights; lol. He tried! I can never forget his accent and his out look on life, being sadly missed is an understatement.

Thank You all for leaving Heart Warming Comment's. Jermain is My COUSIN ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T GET TO SEE HIM MUCH I MISS HIM LIKE HELL AS OF ALL DISTNT FAMILY... I NEED TO COME DOWN THERE AND DOMINATE THE SPORT IN HIS NAME "R.I.P" YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED

Again I wish to thank all who attended and those who wanted to attend Jermaine's funenal but were not able to do so.

Theo and Tim thanks so much for remembering our Friend, Son, Brother and our Boy. Can't believe it's been almost a year, seems like just yesterday. The shock is still an everlasting memory. The love and outpoor at Jermaine's funeral will never be forgotten. How wonderful it was to see how many people loved Jermaine. Rose was very touched and thankful. Let's remember there is a little one growing up without her Father, let's remember Jermaine and the spirit he had and let's remember the lost his familty and friends felt. Much love to everyone for standing strong and being there.

I would like to just take the time to reflect on the passing of our bowling buddy and dear friend to all of us, Jermaine. May he rest in peace and he won't be forgotten......

Remembering my dear friend one year later......Jermaine is no longer with us, but he will never be forgotten. Love ya!

Still unbelievable...will never be forgotten.......

Sunday made a year when we lost Jermaine. The love for Jermaine is still there and will always be there until I see him again. Thanks to all of you for your love and concern: Jermaine's father.
