Gerry James Yantha

It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the passing of our brother, brother-in-law, uncle & great-uncle. Gerry was a kind and humble person who lived his life quietly while always striving to do good for others. Gerry had many close friends that he kept in contact with. He also had a special fur-friend (Sonny the cat) that he cared for whole-heartedly. As an avid sportsman, Gerry & Sonny enjoyed watching the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Gerry was predeceased by his parents Dorothy (Golka) & Dominic V. Yantha; his stepfather Mack Olsheskie and his siblings Robert & Danny.

Left to mourn his passing are his brother Patrick (Gail) and his sisters-in-law Debbie and Barbara. Gerry’s nieces and nephews Stephanie, Jennifer, Graham, and James will miss him dearly.

As the family grew, Gerry took great pride in watching his “great nieces & nephews Trevawn, Henry, Alina, George, and Brynley. They brought immeasurable joy to Gerry, and he was always interested in their well-being.
