Michele Buckner wrote a sympathy message

“Gerald's smile and laugh were contagious. He was always someone I admired, and looked up to. Even though, I know, he experienced many physical ailments that were surely almost unbearable at times, I never was in his presence, that I didn't feel the presence of God. Thank you Gerald for your witness. Thank you Becky, Wesley, and Hannah. God Bless you all. W/Love. Jason R. Buckner Family”
