Jerry Gallant
1950-2022
We regret to announce Jerry Joseph Gallant passed
away at the Halifax Infirmary, N.S. July 5th, 2022, at the age of
72.
Born in Summerside, PEI, January 27th, 1950 to
parents, Ben and Eva (Trenholme) Gallant. He will be so very
much missed by his wife, Janet (Cameron) Gallant, daughters Jana
Gallant (Dale Popowich) and Stephanie Ogilvie (Brock Unger) and son
Jason.
Also, will be sadly missed by his sister, Diana (husband,
Bill Patterson) and brother Terry (wife, June), nieces and nephews and
cousins.
Predeceased by his parents, Ben and Eva;
stepfather, Edgar and infant daughter Jill.
Jerry adored his family, they were very
close. The kids meant the world to him and he so very much
enjoyed hearing of their challenges and successes. Always
quick to offer advice and very proud of their
accomplishments. Jana could always make her Dad giggle and
Steph would ask and receive ‘honest’ critiquing of
her food creations. He loved the phone calls with his
Sister, Di and calls from Brother, Terry talking about just everyday
life. Janet and Jer were married nearly 27 years but had a
great 34 years together filled with so much love and good times
(except when he beat her in crib …
constantly.)
Jer had loyal, long-time friends, Gary and Marie
Anne Nason, John and Bernie Splude and Robert Thorne who were more
like family to him than friends. He met and made friends
with so many of his clients when he owned the Blind Spot. He
loved meeting people, was a born salesman and an entrepreneur who was
never afraid to start something new and make a success of
it. He loved the outdoors, 4-wheeling and the many shepherds
he owned over the years.
The family would enjoy seeing you at an informal
drop in to receive relatives and friends at the Salisbury Funeral Home
& Crematorium (372-4800) July 13th, Wednesday from 1:30 to
3:30 pm.
For those who wish to do so, donations may be made
to the Canadian Kidney Foundation.
