I love you brother! It really sucks your gone, but your no longer in pain. I hope to see you on the other side.
Rest easy cousin. I will miss your spirit, considerable talents and smile. I’m pleased to have so many wonderful memories growing up together, playing music and supporting each other’s bands over the years. Know you were loved and that you are missed.
We are so sorry to hear about G! Lots of good memories of the Boogie Nights days. Fun, laughter and feeling like family. Heartfelt thoughts and prayers to all the family!

Rest in paradise brother.
My heartfelt condolences to the family. I enjoyed my classmate. Truly will be missed.
102.5 The Shark played Rapper's Delight this morning, it reminded me of you, I cried. I will always remember that time i woke up to you singing and playing 4 non-blondes on my acoustic in the living room at like 6am, it was beautiful. I miss you G. Thank you for toughening me up and teaching me to stand up for myself.
So sorry to hear that. He’ll be playing with the Angels now.
Rest easy Gerald! I hadn't seen you since an OA campfire 30yrs back. Today the Weezer video Buddy Holly was on and it reminded me of that night with you at the Boathouse in 94. I wanted to look you up and send you a message. It was difficult to realize that I missed you by days. Rest EZ brother. Condolences to your family.
