Brother Jerry Muhammad Jr. was born March 7, 1959, in Akron Ohio to the late Jerry and Clara Dossie.

Jerry graduated from Buchtel High School and also received an associate’s degree in business management from the University of Akron. In April of 1992 under the guidance of Brother Stephen Mohammad, Jerry was accepted into the Nations Faith. Jerry’s lifetime goal was to honor his religion, be successful in his business and leave a legacy for his children and grandchildren. Family was his priority.

After ten years of working for Jumbo Ice Cream, under the guidance of his uncle Russell, Jerry started his own ice cream business and called it Fraquance World LLC, which operated until his health failed.

Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, Jerry and Clara Dossie, Lionel and Betty Beard, nephew Eddie Johnson and stepmother Roxanna Dossie.
