We sadly announce the death of Gerald (Jerry) Mckinley Gaskins of 81 years on April 27th, 2024 in Willingboro, New Jersey. He was a resident of Riverside, New Jersey. He was born in Fairmont, West Virginia to parents Harold Jr and Lucille [Lanham] Gaskins. He grew up and graduated from Mooseheart in Illinois, where he was a competitive and successful athlete. He continued on to proudly serve his country in the Navy, the Naval Reserve, and as a Naval Reserve Recruiter. Jerry took immense pride in his driving ability, as he was a truck driver at his core. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Margaret [Porter], of 59 years. He is survived by his three daughters, Patricia, Sandra (her husband Jeffrey Sr.), and Teresa. He was also survived by eight grandchildren, Tricia, Rachel, Corey, Shane, Anthony, Jeffrey Jr., Amanda, and Dameyn.
Jerry, you were greatly loved and we will always carry your memory in our hearts.
