Toman, of Rosenberg; Grandparents, John and Angeline Svatek, of Needville, and Steve and Norma Toman, of Sealy. Gerald enjoyed life to the fullest. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and all-around outdoorsmen. He enjoyed gardening and canning the fruits of his labor, and was always willing to share. He was a skilled carpenter and somewhat of a modern-day MacGyver; there was nothing he couldn't create, build or repair. His favorite days were those spent with his family, cooking in the backyard, and playing practical jokes. He remained devoted and committed to both his immediate family and his East Bernard ISD family throughout his illness…he never gave up. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the East Bernard Athletic Department. Tributes and words of condolences may be left for the family at www.davisgreenlawnfh.com.
