In Loving Memory of Gerald Harriott Sr

Gerald Harriott Sr was born on November 23rd, 1962, to Mother Enid L. Harriott and Father Mr. Harriott. Gerald grew up in the United Kingdom.

At a young age, his mother packed him up in search of a better life.

While living in Poughkeepsie, New York, Gerald had several jobs. Gerald worked as a plumber. Gerald was a leader—one who was optimistic and willing to lend a helping hand.

His children describe him as a strong-minded, resilient, and fun-loving person. One who was comical and loved the Lord. Gerald taught his sons to be "strong," and was an active father. One who attended all of their games. Gerald was reserved, but when it came to his "boys," he’d do anything to protect them, and be there for them. Gerald, was an overall great man, and an amazing father.

Gerald loved his children, grandchildren, and family dearly. Gerald had an extraordinary bond with Kairo as he’d become filled with joy anytime Kairo was dropped off with him. He’d already have his cartoons ready, and his heart filled with joy as he discussed his vision for watching Kairo grow up to one day engage in boxing.

Gerald had a zest for life and enjoyed praying, watching football/ boxing, and watching his grandchildren.

Gerald was a true blessing to everyone, and one who left a lasting legacy on anyone he came in contact with.

Gerald was a fighter up until his last day, June 26th, 2026, when the Lord called him home. Gerald is predeceased by Ephrain A. Morrison, his brother.
