Jerry Caggiano, Jr. passed peacefully into Heaven on Friday, April 28, 2023. He was 70 years old.
He was born and raised in Old Hickory, Tennessee where he graduated from Dupont High School. Immediately after school, Jerry began his lifelong career at United Parcel Service (UPS) as a truck driver – truck handle “Dutch Man.” Jerry was a committed and dedicated employee of UPS for 43 years until he retired.
Jerry also opened and ran multiple successful restaurants with JC’s Bullseye in Donelson, Tennessee and most recently Nana’s Diner with his wife, Frances Caggiano in Nolensville, Tennessee.
Jerry spent his years as an avid golfer and car enthusiast. His passion for cars carried on after retirement by working and refurbishing old vehicles. Jerry also loved collecting and talking about his coin collection. He could also be found at the local gun range teaching his grandkids how to shoot.
Jerry was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. He loved spending time with family, always being the life of the party by making jokes and being a prankster.
Most important, Jerry cared deeply about others and would give the shirt off his back to those that needed it. This passion and love for people permeated throughout Jerry’s life.
