Ciro John Bagliazo, Jr.

Ciro John Bagliazo, Jr., affectionately known as "Jerry," passed away on June 4, 2026, in Bonner, Montana. Born on April 1, 1951, in San Pedro, he was a dedicated and hardworking individual whose life journey reflected both determination and family devotion.

Jerry graduated from Lasuen High School in 1969, after which he contributed significantly to the family legacy by working at the Winchester Inn, the family bar, for ten years. His early career also included work on the waterfront in San Pedro, reflecting his strong connection to his hometown.

In 1988, he married Lori Zimberg and together they built a family. Their son, Justin, was born in 1990, a joyous addition to their lives.

In 1992, seeking new horizons and opportunities, Jerry and his family relocated to Montana. Embracing entrepreneurial spirit, he established J&L Truck and Tractor, a business that marked his transition from labor on the waterfront to ownership and leadership in a new field. His dedication to his work was matched by his love for his family and his passions.

One of Jerry’s cherished interests was his profound love for cars, a passion he joyfully shared with his son, Justin. In later years, their bond over automobiles deepened as they spent time together exchanging knowledge and testing each other’s understanding with mutual respect and enthusiasm. This shared hobby created treasured memories and a lasting legacy between father and son.

Jerry was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Elaine Bagliazo and Ciro Bagliazo Sr., whose memories he carried with him throughout his life. He is survived by wife Deb Lopez-Bagliazo; his sister Michele Bagliazo; his son, Justin Bagliazo; daughter-in-law, Stephanie Bagliazo; grandchildren, Everett and Gabriella Bagliazo.

His legacy will live on through those who knew and loved him, and through the life lessons and memories he created with his family. He will be respectfully remembered for his sincerity, dedication, and the warmth he brought into the lives of others.

A graveside memorial will be held at 2pm on Thursday June 11, 2026 at Sunset Memorial Gardens in Missoula.
