Gerald is preceded in death by his parents, Gerald Joseph Pitre, Sr., and Marie Orgeron Pitre Guidroz.

Gerald loved playing football, wrestling, playing cards, fishing and watching the New Orleans Saints on TV. His favorite pastime was enjoying a drink and it didn't have to be a special occasion. He loved entertaining at seafood boils and spending time with his family.

Gerald worked at George Engine as a mechanic for many years and retired from Restlawn Cemetery.
