William Gerald "Gerry" Boydstun was born May 27,1962 in Wichita Falls, Texas to Bill and LaQuitta Boydstun. He died February 12,2025 in Edmond, Oklahoma. As a kid Gerry and his family lived in various states before landing in Edmond during his freshman year of high school. Lucky for him, that is where he met the love of his life Tonya. The two started dating their sophomore year of high school and were married October 10,1981. They celebrated 43 years of marriage last October.
Gerry spent many years of his life driving a semi. He hauled milk for AMPI, brick for Acme Brick and ended his career as an owner operator for WG Boydstun Services.
Tonya and Gerry had two daughters, Gerika, and Kilee. They gave him seven grandkids which gave him his greatest title of all PAWPAW! On top of those seven he had many others that claimed him as their Paw as well.
Gerry enjoyed trips to Little Sahara, going to the gun range, traveling to hockey games, soccer games and dirt bike races. You could be sure that no matter the activity his grandkids were involved in he was their biggest fan!
