Statement from Thunder President Brian Sandy Regarding Jerome Kersey

February 19, 2015 - Arena Football League (AFL)
Portland Thunder News Release


Regarding the passing of former Portland Trail Blazers veteran Jerome Kersey...

"Jerome was a close personal friend, not only of mine and the Thunder, but also of our city and our region. We are deeply saddened by the news today and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family."

Sandy spent a combined 13 seasons with the NBA's Portland Trailblazers ('91-'98, '02-'05, '11-'13), specializing in premium seating, sports technology, and game presentation. During that time, Brian cultivated many relationships with Blazer players and staff, with his relationship with Kersey being a special one.

As Senior Director of Premium Sales and Service, Sandy initiated an Alumni based interaction program, where former Trail Blazers players would sit and watch games with suite holders. Kersey was an integral part of that program, and its development.

The two originally met in 1991.
