David Walter Gerardo February 5, 1936 - October 31, 2010

David Walter Gerardo died Sunday, October 31, of natural causes. He was 74. A graveside service was held Friday at the Deschutes Memorial Gardens in Bend.

David was a lifelong resident of Central Oregon.  He was a 1956 graduate of Sisters High School and remained the No. 1 fan of the Sisters Outlaws. He loved all high school, college and professional sports. He would often listen to one game on the radio with an earpiece while watching another game on TV. He then would be able to tell you everything that happened in both games. 

He was a member of Redmond Christian Church.

David was preceded in death by his mother Beulah Demaris-Becker, his father Walter Gerardo, his sister and brother-in-law Gerry and Albert Ramsey, and niece Terri Gerardo-Ibrahim.

He is survived by his brother and sister-in-law Joe and Norma Jean Gerardo, his aunt and uncle Lenora and Earl Holt, and was the beloved uncle of nieces Vickie Jo Dimick, Judy Ramsey-Martinson, Connie Ramsey-Oberg and Brenda Abbott; nephews Mike Ramsey and Walter Gerardo and numerous great nieces and nephews.

Donations can be made in his name to Partners in Care, 2075 N.E. Wyatt Ct. #1, Bend, OR 97701.
