His friends remember him as someone that was capable of laughing even in the worst moments, seeing that things would always change for the better. They remember him as a boss, coworker, colleague who did not limit himself to helping when they needed him.  “The news lost an excellent reporter and investigator. But more importantly, he was a very good man, an excellent father and son, and the most caring and lovely husband.”

He was a dedicated son, a loving husband and a proud father. He loved to travel along with his family, visit new places and enjoy the best local food. He never stopped planning the adventures they would have together and simply lived to love his family.

Gerald is survived by his wife Luisana; his son, Gerardo Moreno (Jerry) and his mother Rogelia Aranda; as well as his extended family and an abundance of friends.
We will all miss him more than words can say. <3
