When he was not there, they were spending time with him and his brother, Darin, at Gerald’s house in Denton. He also loved spending time with his brother, Darin and family.

Gerald was very outgoing and anyone who met him loved him. He was the most loving and giving person who always had a smile on his face.

He took pride in himself and his belongings, especially his car which he personally kept clean at all times. In his younger days, he liked going out to clubs and was an excellent dancer and DJ.
