A devoted husband, father, son and brother, Gerard leaves behind a legacy of strength, hard work, and deep love for his family.  He was a man who found joy in the tangible things in life.  Whether he was under the hood of a car or at the gym lifting weights, he took pride in his strength and his ability to fix anything that was broken.  He had a natural talent for mechanics and a drive to always keep moving forward.  He had a love for wrestling, pokemon and fishing in his free time.

Above all else, Gerard’s world revolved around his family.  He was a dedicated family man who cherished every moment spent with his family.  He was a constant presence in their lives, providing a foundation of love and support that will never be forgotten.

Gerard’s presence was a gift to those who knew him.  His spirit, characterized by his nickname “Little G” was anything but small.  He lived with a big heart, an infectious laugh that could capture the whole room and a resilient spirit that seemed to keep him going regardless of the trials he faced. 

He will be profoundly missed by his family, extended family, friends and the community he touched.
