Obituary of Gerardo Jesús Serrano Armenta
Gerardo Jesús Serrano, Hijo Amado, Hermano, nieto y amigo de muchos.
Gerardo trajo alegría y calidez a la vida de su familia y amigos desde el momento en que llegó a este mundo. Su risa contagiosa, su espíritu gentil y su bondad inquebrantable tocaron las vidas de todos los afortunados que se cruzaron en su camino.
La naturaleza compasiva de Gerardo no tenía límites. Tenía una habilidad única para animar a los demás con sus chistes ingeniosos que sin duda alegraban el ánimo de cualquiera (sin importar la ocasión). Era un hombre que cumplió su palabra, era humilde y firme. Era un muchacho tranquilo y respetuoso. Nunca conoció a un extraño y se hizo amigo de muchos con su sonrisa genuina, ya fuera a través de una conversación sincera o de un simple acto de bondad, tuvo un profundo impacto en quienes conoció.
Gerardo tenía una fuerte conexión con su familia, quienes fueron el círculo íntimo de su vida. Gerardo formó parte del negocio de su familia, trabajando junto a su padre Jesús y su hermano Luis. Con su padre Jesús era un bromista y muy juguetón, alguien a quien consideraba un amigo y podía ser él mismo - pero con mucho respeto. Su madre, Alma, fue su fundación a formar el hombre que fue, le dio crianza y amor. Y cuando ella más lo necesito, él se adaptó rápidamente a sus necesidades, como aprender a cocinar, limpiar y administrar la casa. Fue muy práctico y rápido para ayudar. Con su hermana Rosi, compartía una relación inquebrantable que consistía en abrazos fuertes, muchos domingos viendo fútbol americano y bromas que solo ellos compartían. Gerardo consideraba a su hermano mayor Luis como su mayor modelo a seguir. Su respeto y admiración por su hermano lo demostraba en conversaciones de confianza, compartían los mismos gustos y siempre estaban juntos.
Gerardo amaba a su compañero de cuatro patas: Champ. Compartían largos paseos en el parque de perros, salían a caminar por las calles cerca de su casa, y lo premiaba con sus juguetes favoritos. La presencia de su leal compañero Champ era un regalo precioso, un recordatorio de la profunda alegría que surge de amar y ser amado a cambio.
Tenía pasión por el fútbol americano y jugó durante su carrera en la escuela secundaria Lamar. Su entusiasmo por el fútbol también incluía animar a su equipo de fútbol favorito; Los Texans de Houston. Llevaba con orgullo su camiseta personalizada, con las letras "SERRANO" mientras apoyaba a su equipo.
Los espectáculos y las películas eran uno de sus muchos pasatiempos. Conocía todas las palabras y escenas de personajes como Breaking Bad, King of the Hill, Malcolm in the Middle, Spider-Man y conocía cada detalle sobre el mundo de Harry Potter. El entusiasmo de Gerardo era contagioso para todos los que compartían sus intereses y le encantaba compartir sus películas y programas favoritos con sus seres queridos.
Gerardo deja un legado de amor y bondad que seguirá inspirándonos a todos. Los recuerdos que compartimos y el amor que le tenemos nos trae mucha alegría y perdurarán para siempre, ya que él permanecerá en nuestros corazones. Que su legado siga vivo a través del amor y la compasión que nos tenemos unos a otros.
Gerardo Jesus Serrano, Beloved Son, Brother, grandson and friend to all.
Gerardo brought joy and warmth into the lives of his family and friends from the moment he entered this world. His infectious laughter, gentle spirit, and unwavering kindness touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to cross his path.
Gerardo’s compassionate nature knew no bounds. He had a unique ability to uplift others with his witty jokes that were sure to lighten anyone's mood (no matter the occasion). He was a man that stood by his word, he was humble and firm. He was an easy-going guy. He never met a stranger, befriending many with his genuine smile. Whether it was through a heartfelt conversation or a simple act of kindness, he had a profound impact on those he encountered.
Gerardo had a close connection to his family, the inner-circle of his life. Gerardo formed part of his family’s company, working alongside his father Jesus and brother Luis. With his father Jesus, he was a jokester and very playful, someone he considered a friend and was able to be himself - with a lot of respect. His mother Alma, was his backbone, but when she needed him the most, he adjusted to her needs quickly, such as learning how to cook, clean, and manage the household. He was very hands-on and swift to help. With his sister Rosi, he shared a deep and unbreakable bond that consisted of comforting embraces, many Sundays watching football and late night snack runs. Gerardo looked up to his big brother Luis as his biggest role model. Their mutual respect and admiration was felt unspoken and unseen. Their bond will forever be one of brotherhood and companionship.
Gerardo loved his four legged companion: Champ. With every toss of the ball, long dog walks or days at the dog park, the presence of his loyal companion Champ was a precious gift, a reminder of the profound joy that comes from loving and being loved in return.
He had a passion for football, playing throughout his high school career at Lamar High. His enthusiasm for football also included cheering for his favorite football team; The Houston Texans. He proudly wore his custom jersey, with ‘SERRANO’ lettering on it as he was rooting for his hometown team.
Shows and movies were one of his many pastimes. He knew all the words and scenes to the likes of Breaking Bad, King of the Hill, Malcolm in the Middle, Spider-Man and he knew every hidden detail about the whimsical world of Harry Potter. Gerardo’s enthusiasm was contagious to all who shared in his interests and he delighted in sharing his favorite movies and shows with those he loved.
Gerardo leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness that will continue to inspire us all. The memories we shared and the love we hold for him will endure forever, as he remains in our hearts. May his legacy live on through the love and compassion that we hold for one another.
