opportunity to help raise funds for those in need by
participating in poker runs. He was a giving person
and always had everyone else's best interest at
heart. Everyone that met him loved him. He had a
smile that could light up a room. Gerard also
enjoyed fishing, hunting, target practice, dirt bike

world. He never missed an opportunity to have a
cookout or a bonfire with his family and friends. He
will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. |
