Gerald R. Shearer

WARREN — Gerald R. Shearer, 69, of Warren, peacefully passed with his family by his side Sunday, Feb. 19, 2017, at his home.

Gerald was born May 13, 1947, in Warren, the son of Robert and Ethel Parker Shearer and was married for 49 years to the love of his life, Dorothy Marie Long Shearer.

Gerald loved the outdoors, and fishing was one of his favorite pastimes in his younger years. Gerald enjoyed being a part of the Windham Fire and Police auxiliary, and he found special joy in his role as the firehouse cook for many hungry firemen.

Memories of Gerald will be carried on by his loving wife, Dorothy; his sons, Gerald Jr. (Elena) Shearer, Robert Shearer and Gary Lee (Tracy) Shearer; his daughter, Renee Sue (Rexall) Thompson; his grandchildren, Kailie, Russell, George, Eric, Angel, Gary Jr., Trevor, Sarah, Rexall Jr., Brandon, Nicole, Betsy, Samantha, Tara, Patrick Jr., Cierra, Bradley and Chloe; his 14 great-grandchildren; and his siblings, Davey, Edward, Kenny, Patty, Mary, Sandy, Sue Ellen and Barbara.

Preceding Gerald were his parents; his son, Anthony; his grandson, Travis; his brother, Bobby; and his sister, Donna Jean Ridenbaugh.

The family will hold a memorial service in Windham Township Cemetery at a later date.

Arrangements for Gerald were entrusted to Borowski Memorial Home in Newton Falls.
