Born September 26, 1956 to Adele Marie Boenisch and Ervin Lawrence Migl, Gerald is preceded in death by his parents. He graduated from Pearland High School in 1975 and earned his BS. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Houston. He was employed by Dow Chemical for 20 years before taking a short sabbatical to pursue his passion for woodworking and raising his two children. He later worked for Fluor Engineering in Sugar Land for 15 years where he enjoyed challenging consulting projects and the friendship of his colleagues.
Gerald was always working on multiple projects at home or at the family farm in Garwood, Texas. He enjoyed taking old or broken things and upcycling them into beautiful and useful things. He also enjoyed his time at the gym with his workout buddies.
Gerald is survived by his wife of 41 years, Barbara Sonka Migl, his two adult children, Sarah Migl Munguia (Emmanuel) and David Ervin Migl (Colleen), and 3 grandsons, Drayven, Luke, and (coming very soon) Noah.
He is also survived by his brother, Dr. Donald Migl (Karen) of Nacogdoches, Texas, two sisters, Beverly Garcia (late husband Armando) of Canyon Lake, Texas and Valerie Tharp (Webster) of Houston and numerous nieces, nephews, grand nieces and nephews and cousins.

I worked with Gerald on several projects at Fluor and always enjoyed his helpfulness. Gerald did everything with a smile that I will miss dearly. May Gerald's family find comfort knowing the Lord has called him home early because He has work that only Gerald can do!

I would like to express my deepest condolences to Gerald's family. I was very lucky to be able to sit across from Gerald on his most recent project at work. He was the nicest, most sincere person and I liked hearing his stories. May he rest in peace forever.

To Gerald´s family, friends, and colleagues, my deepest condolences go out to you during this difficult time. May you find solace in the cherished memories of Gerald, and may he rest in eternal peace.
I´m deeply saddened to hear the news of Gerald´s passing.
It is a tremendous loss for all of us who had the privilege of knowing him. From the moment I met him during my interview, I could tell that he was a jolly and kind-hearted individual.
Gerald´s unwavering positivity and his willingness to lend a helping hand were truly remarkable. He was always there to support us during our work in MPC, and his presence made a significant impact on our professional lives.
It feels immensely unfair that Gerald´s time with us was cut short. He was a genuine soul who deserved so much more. His absence will be deeply felt, and it´s heartbreaking to think that he won´t be here to continue spreading his positivity and making a difference in the lives of those around him.
In this time of grief, it is important that we cherish the good times we shared with Gerald and the valuable contributions he made.
Let us honor his memory by embodying his positive attitude and his willingness to help others, just as he did.
Gerald´s legacy will live on through the lives he touched, and his memory will forever remain in our hearts.

Gerald was always incredibly kind to me when I came in as a new engineer. He was always happy to explain something to me and was always very understanding. After meeting initially he always made a point to say hello or good morning to me in passing. His presence will be missed.

Gerald and I worked together on a Lyondell project 3 years ago. When I saw that his last name was Migl of course had to ask if he had kin folks in Hallettsville.. that is where we became to chat up conversations. We chatted always when we would run into each other he was always a pleasant gentlemen to talk to. He would tell me his progress that he was making on his house because of it flooded. When i heard the news of him being sick and his passing all in one day, just brought tears to my eyes.
Gerald you will be missed, may the good lord protect and bring comfort your wife and family in these difficult times.

Hello. I only knew Gerald for about 3 months as I was recently assigned to work near him at Fluor. Gerald was always humble, kind and pleasant, good for a laugh and easy to like. There was always a daily flow of coworkers stopping by to cut up or consult with him. Please know that he is very much appreciated and will obviously be missed greatly by many at work as well. Please accept my deepest sympathies. Your family and friends are in our heartfelt prayers.
