Jermaine Lenard Chisholm

Jermaine Lenard Chisholm, son of Jerome L. Chisholm and Wendy K. Monismith, was born on January 31, 1981. He was a proud Steelton native, known for his deep ties to the community and his unwavering commitment to making a difference. Whether through his work in local initiatives, his constant support of family and friends, or his compassionate involvement in youth mentorship, Jermaine had a profound impact on everyone he met. A graduate of Steelton-Highspire High School, Class of 1999, Jermaine went on to Shippensburg University to earn a Master’s Degree in Accounting and became a CPA. His career afforded him the opportunity to support his true passion for helping others, working in various roles that allowed him to give back to his community through youth basketball, coaching Steel High Football as a strength and conditioning coach, or fundraising for the Jordan Hill Foundation. His work ethic, sense of humor, and genuine interest in the well-being of others made him a true coach and confidante to so many. Above all, Jermaine was a provider, a protector and a preparer. Jermaine had a passion for sports, fitness, and comedy, often organizing get-togethers where everyone could enjoy each other's company at a sporting event, a college visit or a church breakfast. His laughter was infectious, and his leadership lifted the spirits of all around him. He found peace in simple moments, whether it was an early morning workout, cheering on his favorite sports teams, or sharing a meal with loved ones. Jermaine, a beloved member of the Steelton, PA community, left us unexpectedly on September 20, 2025 after living with ALS for over 7 years. Jermaine was 44 years old. His family, friends, and all who knew him will forever remember his strength, discipline, selflessness and dedication to those he loved. He is preceded in death by his mother, Wendy Kay Chisholm who was a guiding influence in his life; and his brother Lance Eugene Chisholm. While Jermaine’s time with us was far too short, his legacy of love, dedication, and service will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him. He is survived by his devoted wife, Robyn Chisholm; their children, Lillyanna, Roman and Wendy, all of Harrisburg; father, Jerome Chisholm; brother, JR Chisholm; and his three sisters, Wanda Chisholm, Tasha Long, Renee Painter; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends who considered him a brother and a guiding light. Rest in peace, Jermaine. You will be forever missed, but never forgotten. We love you, we listened, and we will lead as you did, with everything we have. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Jordan Hill Foundation, which Jermaine was deeply involved with or Hope Loves Company, a nonprofit that provides support, resources and community to children who have or had a loved one with ALS. They give children and young adult caregivers the tools they need to navigate grief, find joy, and remain hopeful. A celebration of Jermaine’s life will be held on Friday, September 26, 2025, at the Hilton Harrisburg, located at One North 2nd St, Harrisburg, PA, with a service at 10:00 AM. Per the family’s request, please wear your best Jermaine style t-shirt. Parking accommodations are being made at the Hilton garage with validation of parking expense at front desk.
