Gerard Langelier Obituary
Gerard was a beloved member of the Bishop O'Connell High School community where he worked for the last 32 years. He was recognized in 2024 as an All-Star faculty member for his unwavering commitment, infectious spirit, and the invaluable role he played in shaping the O'Connell experience. Colleagues described him as a beacon of positivity, radiating warmth and creating a sense of belonging for everyone at O'Connell High School.
Gerard was born in New Jersey on April 26, 1967, to Carol Ann (Milioti) Langelier and Robert Michael Langelier. The family moved to Virginia the following year as his father left the U.S. Army Electronics Command in Fort Monmouth for the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations at the Pentagon. Gerard is predeceased by his father who remained close in Gerard's heart over the last 50 years since his passing and grounded Gerard's interest in NASA and space exploration.
Gerard had a lifelong love of sports. He had an uncanny memory and developed deep knowledge of each of the sports and teams he followed. He could frequently be found cheering on the Washington professional and O'Connell teams, as well as his McLean Highlanders football team ('86). Coach G shared his talents with McLean Little League and youth football and basketball teams he coached.
He is survived by his mother, Carol; his sisters Cynthia Paine of Falls Church, VA, and Christina Hamilton (Sean) of Arlington, VA; his brother, Rob Langelier of Half Moon Bay, CA; six nieces and nephews; and three great-nephews and niece. In addition to his father, he is predeceased by his grandparents, Gerard and Mary (Grady) Langelier of Quincy, MA, and Louis and Florence (Mihalik) Milioti of Daytona Beach, FL.
The Funeral Mass at Holy Trinty Catholic Church in Georgetown and burial at Oakwood Cemetery in Falls Church were held on October 24, 2025.
