Albert Gerze Obituary

I love you babe and miss always. I know you're doing great there up in heaven but sure miss your strong arms around me. I love you dearly Mr. Al Gerze. My love of my life, Always and forever .

Here today is been 15 years since you went home, followed by many family members. You are thought of and missed.

Taken too soon. You'll always be young. Wish we would have had more time.

Happy 70th birthday!! Hats to imagine you 70. You'll always be young in our eyes and hearts.

Happy happy birthday.

Another year has gone by our friend. A few friends and family have joined you and I find comfort in knowing that there is a great reunion ride happening. Miss you, Kat and Brandon

I'm a day late making this entry,I had fallen off the skid steer like a dummy and sprain my ankle. Lots of pain.
My love I can't believe 12 years has already gone by. All my little things and you I have kepted by my head on the headboard so I can see you every morning (yes the kids gave me some of you and I went and bought a nice little keepsake urn to put you in) Sweetie I miss you so much. Everytime I drive around lake Loveland U look across the street and I can see you and I riding up on our bikes to join in on my family reunion get together at the pavilion. I really enjoyed that. I sure could use a big hug with those strong arms of yours.
I love you always and forever.
Love you always,. Karen

Thinking of you today, as I oftentimes do. Hard to believe it has been 12 years. Glad you're not alone and have your mom and dad, along with most of your siblings.
Sending love!

Baby it's been a rough day today. I have laid around and all I did was think and remember you, my love ,Nikki my youngest, my mom and my dad, my step dad Stan, my favorite Aunt. The timing of losing all of you was such a short time between each one. I at times ask how I'm standing here and alone without any of you. (God's will I believe.) I also can say my love for you is still there and my heart is still aching . I ask myself Why? Why you? Why did you have to leave us all?
I miss you so much honey. I love you to the moon and back. Always and forever.

I just cannot believe how 9 years feels like yesterday but yet so long ago. I miss you!

Happy Heavenly Birthday To You Al, I Miss You, Think of You Lots.
This may be late but never forgotten. "Ride on" in Heaven with all our lost brothers and sisters. Peace be still my friend

Happy Birthday! Today is not a good day! I usually spend it with Grandma & Grandpa but since they are with you now, I didn't know what to do. I know I should be happy, however just a very sad day remembering your birthday. Oh how I know how much they have missed all their children. Hope you all have a wonderful day celebrating your birthday! Love you - Christania

You're missed! You're still loved and thought about all the time! Eight years..... Just not right. You were too young. Missed by many.

Happy birthday Dad love you hope your day is a great one miss ya love you

Happy birthday dad! Miss you! Wish you were here as always. So much going on..... please watch over us all.

Brandon and Kat

My Love it sure has been a tough 7 long years without you. And then many more losses after you (I know you know) I just hope you have a chair next to you waiting for me. There are times I feel like it won't be to much longer till we see each other again. You what they say about a lonely heart? I love you babe and miss you oh soon much. Tell Nikki, my babygirl "Hi and I love her!" I love you my Big Al!! Forever and always

Seven years and not any easier. Really no words, because I believe you know what's going on right now with everyone in the family. God I wish you were here!
Karen, oh my hon-my heart and prayers go out to you. I cannot even imagen your heartbreak. May the memories get you through.

Well babe as of July 29th 2016, I lost my youngest daughter, Nikki to suicide. I believe you know this I just needed to say it cause I still can't get it to hit me. This has totally devasted me , my life and my world. God I sure wished you were here cause I could really use those big strong arms around me. So in the last 3 yrs I've lost my dad,my mom,my cousin and now Nikki. If you see her hug her for me and tell her I love her. I love you so much and miss you so much my love. Tania thank you for the kind words. Plz tell everyone hello.

Dad I just wanted to say hi I how I miss you so much life for me is going well thangs have changed so much here I wish you where here it is so lonely with you gone I miss being able to call you to just vent to get your advice it's hard getting older my train of thought has changed in so many ways well tell next time love you pops

Happy Birthday Dad! I love you - always have and always will. Wish you were here. Your grandkids are really missing out. Grandma & especial Grandpa really miss you and talk about you all the time. Watch over them and Al & Travis - they really need you, more than ever. May Karen know that she is loved as well. I love you and happy birthday.

Karen,
My deepest sympathies. Last night I had a dream that has been haunting me all day. Most would say I should have happiness, but I am just sad. In the dream, I was surrounded by many old and dear friends, many of whom are gone, and one by one they had to leave this life again. One of them was dear Al, whom I still miss to this day. Many say this will get easier and in a way they may be correct, but when the memories do return, the flood of emotion I feel is strong and difficult to bear. Stand tough and stay positive, as the memories will have to get us through, until we all meet again.

Well babe mom passed. It is so un real. The most important the ones I love so much are gone and Im here alone. I miss all of you so so much. God knows the toll this all has taken on me and now to face the redt of this road without any of you scares me. Babe save me a seat next to you cause Ill be there
Love always Karen

babe I still can't believe your gone. it still hurts,aches like it did the night when our Father took you home.because your not here to hold me and tell me it will be ok,that you wouldn't let anything hurt me. Babe I know you know that I almost lost mom due to a stroke and that she had and is having some memory problems but when I asked her if she remembered you,Al Gerze? she smiled and said yes "That good looking guy your with?" I said, yes. as tears rolled down my face. you do remember my love! . Al, honey you left an impression on mom too. so I will say she misses you too! I love you honey. RIP!!

Dad I did it i bought a house I close next week 12 23 2014 I can't believe it wish you where here some times it feels like you are right here next to me other times feels like you are no where to be found all I can think is you must be busy I miss you so much I can't wait to see you again some day your memory will last a life time with me sorry I took you for granted wish things could have been different but it is what it is I guess just life on earth I guess love you Pops hope you are doing well in your new home

Happy Halloween my love!! love you always and 4 ever, your girl, Karen

Dad I just wish I could see your face hear your growl hug you and tell you thank you for being you I made it i am 40 now can't believe it the boys are growing up to be fine men you would be so proud witch I know you are I feel you from time to time watching down on us still not the same I just wish you did not have to go as much as I gave you a hard time you where my best friend and all ways will be love you Dad

I miss and love you soooo oo much sweetheart. Yes I am struggling at this moment.. I know that night love God was calling you home But babe at this moment I can only think of how we were just going to bed how you reached over to lay/put your arm around me to hold me tight as you always have and then, that moment things took a quick change, a change that would affect the rest of my life. A life without you. See God decided to bring you home not a minute earlier or a minute later. It was right then and there. You called out but then Silence... OH God did you? Did you have to at that very minute? GOD??? BUT!! ... I LOVE YOU ALbert THE 1st. Forever and ever and ALWAYS. SOON WE WILL BE TO GET HER AGAIN!!!!

Al,
You are still my guardian angel. Thank you for keep us safe on the miles of roads that Brandon and I travel. Ride on, my friend!!!

A year already? Feels like yesterday but yet it feels like you have been gone forever. Miss you! You are forever in our hearts and memories. R.I.P. 4/11/10
Too young! Love you always, me

Baby it has been a year today that God took you home. I still remember that day oh so well. God I love you and miss you. Til we meet again. LOVE YOU ALWAYS. Karen

A year ago tomorrow you texted me words that will be forever engraved in my heart and mind. I still read them all the time and wonder.....how you knew that you were going on your next adventure and were going to leave us and go to heaven. I'm sorry that I never texted back. I'm sorry I was waiting for the right words to say before responding. Little did I know that I would never have that chance to respond to you here on earth. We will be together again some day but my work in on earth is not done. How did you know that your work was done? How long did you know that you were going home soon? Tell Aunt Kathie that I'm trying to keep my promise. Life is way too short but your life here with us was even shorter. Wish we would have had more time. G&G miss you so much too. They're not ok and I don't know how to fix their broken hearts because I can't even make sense of this myself. I miss you Dad! I'm sorry!

I LOVE and MISS you very much babe. Untill we meet again you always have my heart forever Love your girl Karen

I still look at a picture of 'AL' and I cry..I'm still in shock...He touched my life so deeply that I even forgot how special He was in my life...I was not in his life everyday towards the end of his journey, but 'AL' planted seeds in my life of hope, help, and a caring LOVE like I had never seen in others...I really miss him and wish I would have called him or stayed in touch, some how our paths just went to the way side due to our busy lives.. Now I see how important and an example it is to just drop by or call and say hi to your friends...I MISS you 'AL' and see all the fruits you left in all our hearts
Galatians 5:22-23
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control.
Thank you 'AL'for the seeds you planted in all our hearts......
Jerimiah 17:8
He will be like a tree that is planted by water. It will send its roots down to a stream. It will not be afraid in the heat of summer. Its leaves will turn green. It will not be anxious during droughts. It will not stop producing fruit

3 months as of yesterday and it still feels like yesterday. Wish it would get easier. I'm just so happy that your finally laid to rest with your brother. Rest in peace Dad!

A month? Unbelievable! Feels like yesterday.

Al, you treated me as one of youre sons and u were like a father to me. when i heard what happened i was in denile that someone so good was gone. you were there for some of the greatest days and molments in my life from being at all of my swim meets to my graduation. wrighting this and thinking of all the fun times we've had is one of the hardest things ive had to do. mom said that you were so proud of me and i know that you are my hero with how great of a person you are i will never forget you and i will see you again at another time but you will always be with me in my heart. i love you so much thank you for all the great times you gave me from the walks at the river to the camping you will always be in my prayers.
Youre son, Landry Eagan
