Daniel E. Gerrard, 67, of Glen Aubrey, NY, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at Wilson Memorial Hospital, Johnson City, NY from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

Dan was born in Cortland, NY on December 20, 1958, the son of the late Robert and Sally Falso Gerrard. His presence was defined by his generosity, hard work, and the love he shared with his family and friends.

Dan is survived by his wife, Susan Leonard Gerrard, who was his companion and steadfast supporter through the journey of life. He leaves behind his cherished children: sons Travis Gerrard and Patrick Gerrard, daughters Chelsea Gerrard and Caitlyn Gerrard, as well as step-daughter Lisa Mosher. His legacy continues in his grandchildren, Candence Gerrard, Payton Gerrard, and his pride and joy, Wyatt Clapper.

He will be lovingly remembered by his sister, Phoebe Piech; his half-brother Steven Soper; and his half-sister Stephanie (Kevin) Dean. His extended family includes his aunt, Shirley Burk; his uncle Carmen (Barbara) Falso; and his great aunts Mary Falso, and Marjorie Baldassare, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins who held him dear.

Dan joins in peace his daughter, Angela Gerrard; a brother Robert Gerrard and sister Sallie Ann Soshinsky, whose memories he treasured. He was also preceded in death by his grandparents, Dominick and Virginia (Barnes) Falso and Daniel and Anna Belle Gerrard Merzke.
