Gerard, Melvin
Posted Jul 23, 2021 | 1:35 PM
Melvin “Mel” Gerard, resident of Grande Prairie, AB, left this world on Wednesday, July 14, 2021, as he lived life, quietly and peacefully.
Mel grew up in Grande Prairie, and those fortunate enough to be in his small circle knew his huge heart and giving soul.
As a young child, he loved to draw and developed his gift as time went on. He always had a pencil and sketch book near by. He loved to read and always had his nose in a book. Mel enjoyed the serenity of nature. He was a shy, quiet, humble man and had a sweet soul. His greatest joy was when he could bring joy and laughter to others.
Mel will be immensely missed by his siblings: Mimi, Dwayne, and Donna; as well as numerous nieces, and nephews. Mel was a hero to his family.
He was predeceased by his mother Winnie McLean; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and grandparents.
As per Mel’s request, there will be no Funeral Service held.
The family asks if you wish to honour their brother, do one random act of kindness with Mel in your heart.
