I’m so sorry for your loss Debbie and Richard. I really can relate but we are all at that age this happens way too often. Please accept condolences.

To all the Shurr families,
We were sorry to hear of the passing of Gerald. Know our thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this time. May you be encouraged by each other and knowing Christ is there to surround you with His love.

My condolence to Jerry’s family,
Saw him a lot while working at Beaucrest. We will miss him.

So very sorry for your loss, many memories and many happy times spent with Jerry and family.

It has been an honor to have held your hand. Please find comfort to our family as God cradles this beloved soul in His arms.

Gerald was a nice guy. Always gave me a ride home from church and was a true man of worship of God always lift his hands up in church, always a man to talk to when I had family problems he was there to talk to and would listen to me.

My sincere heartfelt condolences to the entire family. Gerald and I were good friends. We used to engage in interesting debates over coffee at Orr's, along with brother Laverne and father Blake. Gerald will be missed. So will his sharp wit and his charming infectious smile. He's bound to have everybody in Heaven chuckling already! God bless you Gerald. Happy trails! ISAIAH 43:18-19 comes to mind.

Our deepest condolences go out to the Shurr families at this time. Lots of family history and memories, most being his smile. He will be missed.
