The family would like to offer a special thanks to his nurses, Hilton Hollis and Jennifer Cantrell, at North Alabama Medical Center. Your care and compassion for him meant so much to us.
Gerald overcame much adversity. He loved his career as a Business and Sales Manager that encompassed the entire South and Eastern States. Many individuals have expressed appreciation for how he mentored and taught them to be successful. He loved sports, fishing, and anything outdoors. His sense of humor was absolutely hilarious. Gerald was terrible (and had the worst luck) with anything mechanical (HA!) He was humble, loyal, and creative, and a deal-maker. He never understood how much he was loved and admired.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the charitable organization of your choice.
