Gerald Killian Obituary

Gerald Allen Killian went to be with our Lord and Savior on July 14th, 2025. A loving man with a big heart who touched anyone he met. He was preceded in death by his wife, Judith Killian, and his oldest son, David Killian. He is survived by his love Donna Austin as well as his son Don Jay Killian, Dee-Ann Taylor, two daughter-in-laws, Michelle Anne Killian, and Tawna Killian. He had five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. He will surely be missed, but we have our faith that we will all be together again.

I can´t begin to say how much Gerry will be missed. He was a huge part of our extended family, one of the best neighbors we could ever had the pleasure to know. We love you and miss you Gerry. Till we meet again.
