In Loving Memory of Jerome Dorkin

1971 – 2025

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Jerome Dorkin, loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend, who passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at the age of 54 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Hamilton, Canada, and raised in Brooklyn, NY and Preko, Croatia, Jerome grew up with a strong sense of family, faith, and community that guided him throughout his life. After marrying the love of his life, Denise(Grindley) he settled in Westchester County, NY, where they built a beautiful life together and raised their two cherished children, Dylan and Kaitlyn, who were his greatest joy.

For more than twenty years, Jerome volunteered with the Bryn Mawr Boys and Girls Club in Yonkers, where his deep love of soccer and generous spirit touched the lives of countless young people. He was known for his kindness, warmth, and steady presence — someone who made everyone feel valued and at home.

Jerome was employed with Align Communications for over 30 years where coworkers and colleagues became family. A place where he mentored many and took many under his direction.

He is survived by his devoted wife Denise [Grindley]loving children Dylan and Kaitlyn, parents Vlatko and Julija, siblings Evelin(Tonko) and Ljubica (Tomo). Nieces Karmen, Lisa, Enola, and Gianna, his Goddaughter and niece. Along with nephews Nando, Noa and Nick, he also leaves behind one cherished great-niece, Ramona. His legacy of love, laughter, and service will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

A viewing will be held on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Sinatra Memorial Home in Yonkers, NY, where family and friends will gather to honor and celebrate his life.
