Gerald served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.
Gerald grew up and lived all over. He liked to travel. He also enjoyed working on cars, fishing, spending time with his grandkids, watching movies, cruising, taking care of his cars and being with friends and family.
Gerald was a role model to a lot of his younger family members. He was very giving and would help anyone he could in any way possible. He opened his home and his heart more times than can be counted. He is gone but will never be forgotten. He fought cancer for a couple of years.
He is survived by his children, Heather Dell (Randy), Gerald Hafen, Candy Waite (Travis), Josh Hafen (Jessica), Jeremy Hafen (Angelica), Angel Evans (Brendan); 31 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; two sisters, Tressa Snyder and Jahnna Snyder (Troy Williams).
