Gerald Holtrey Obituary
Gerald Nelson Holtrey, born June 26, 1938, went on to be with his Lord and Savior on Monday, April 18, 2022. He is survived by his loving, devoted wife and soulmate, Loretta; his daughters: Monica Osborne and Brenda (Butch) Collins; stepdaughters: Kelly (Chris) Patton, Karcy (Dean) Castner, and Kammy (Darren) Reiter; grandchildren: Alex (Jill) Collins, Rich (Amy) Collins, Emma Reiter, Carson Castner, Seve Patton, and Ell Reiter; great grandchildren: Camron, Alexis, Jenson, Cecilia, Blane, Tate, and Bryce; his brother, Donald; and his sisters: Doris McManis and Trudy Parsons; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Raymond and Gladys; his brothers: Galen and Jerry; and his grandson, Tadd Williams.
Gerald never wavered in his faith and was fearless with a great sense of humor. He was a hard worker, took pride in gardening and building things. He enjoyed his furry buddies. Most of all he loved his God, his family, and his country. He was Marine strong to the end. Semper Fi.
