     Gerald Anthony Talarico Gerald A. Talarico, Jan 3, 1955 - Aug 10, 2025. It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Gerald "Jerry" Anthony Talarico. Born in Denver, Colorado on January 3, 1955 to Ralph and Ann Talarico; Jerry lived a full life marked by dedication to his work, love for his family, and a passion for the open road. Jerry devoted over four decades of his professional life to Denver Water, where he built a respected career and earned recognition through numerous competitions. His commitment and expertise left a lasting impression on colleagues and the community alike. Outside of work, Jerry was known for his adventurous spirit. He had a deep love for Harleys - riding them whenever he could and taking pride in maintaining them himself. He delighted in discovering new foods and sharing his findings with family. At home, he found joy in the companionship of his beloved teacup Yorkie, Charlie. Jerry’s personality was as bold as it was warm. He was kind-hearted, quick with a joke or story, and animated in every conversation. Those who knew him will remember his humor and the way he brought his infectious laughter into every room. He is survived by his son Robert Talarico (Kimber); his daughter Terin Blake; his brother Robert Talarico; and his cherished grandchildren Leeam Talarico and Luca Talarico. A man of Catholic faith, Jerry carried his beliefs with quiet strength throughout his life. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire stories told with laughter and love.
