Gary Michael Gerard, 48, of Waverley, formerly of Sydney, passed away at home on April 12, 2016 after a courageous battle with cancer surrounded by family, friends and his fur babies.
Gary is survived by his best friend, his wife, Marcella (Locke) of 22 years, predeceased by his parents, Maurice and Blanche (Hardy) Gerard, brother George and his mother-in-law, Mary Locke.
Gary is also survived by his sister Marilyn Hayes, Sydney; brother Bobby (Angela), Lower Sackville; Pauline Holmes (Donnie) South Boularderie; father-in-law Doug Locke, Bateston; sisters-in-law Madonna Locke, Sydney; Glenda (Hughie) MacLeod, Westmount, Juanita (Phil) MacKenzie and brothers-in-law James (Catherine) Locke of Beaverbank, Terry (Kathleen) Locke, Ontario; and many nieces and nephews that he held close to his heart and adored.
Gary will best be remembered for his sense of humour, practical jokes, his kindness and love of animals. Gary's many pleasures included his Kawasaki and KTM, taekwondo, but his happiest times were spending time with his family and friends and spending time being Duey to his special niece, Jordyn.
We would like to thank the his niece Tanya Fuller, Dr. Colwell and Jill, the 8th floor nursing staff at the VG, palliative care and VON but especially Dr. Giacomantonio for being his quarterback.
A memorial service will be held on April 23, 2016 at the Beaver Bank Kinsac Community Centre, 1583 Beaverbank Road, Beaverbank beginning at 2 p.m. At Gary's request, this event will be as he lived, relaxed and casual.
