Gerald Glenn Merchant

Gerald Merchant, the fifth of seven children, passed away on September 30, 2024 at the age of 66. He was a kind and genuine person who always did the right thing. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Loree Merchant and his younger brother, Gordon. Gerald is survived by his loving wife, Brenda Clowdus Merchant, his sons Scott (Gina) and Philip (Dawn) Williams and his grandchildren, Ariel (Anthony) Johnson, Brady and Patrick Williams. He also leaves behind a great-grandchild, Riley Johnson and his siblings, Billy, George (Sandra), Gary (Alice), Michael Merchant and Gloria Wolfe, along with numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

Gerald’s life trade was plumbing, but his true passion was serving his family as well as others. Since retiring, he dedicated his time to Serving You Ministries and other missions at Northpark Baptist Church. He was deeply loved by his family and friends and his loss will be felt by many for years to come.
