September 18, 1953 - September 22, 2020

Gerald Wayne Hollers, 67, of Bloomington passed away Monday, September 22, 2020 at the Golden Living Center in Bloomington. He was born September 18, 1953 in Bloomington the son of Sollie and Letitia “Joyce” (Shields) Hollers Gerald is survived by his wife of 48 years Sandra Hollers; his son, Andrew “Drew” Hollers both of Bloomington; two granddaughters, Brittany (Kenneth) Hillsman of Murfreesboro, TN and Haley (Justus) Erb of Bloomington; two great grandsons, Milton Hillsman and Anson Erb; two brothers, Kendrin (Connie) Hollers; and Mike Johnson both of Bloomington; two sisters, Shellie (Eddie Ray) Dike of Hendricksville; and Sherrie (Jerry) Edwards of Bloomington; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; his daughter, April Joy Hollers Flick; and his brother, Johnnie Hollers; maternal grandparents, Henry Shields and Aola (Shields) Deckard; paternal grandparents, John and Evie Hollers; and a very special uncle Dale Shields. Gerald was an avid coon hunter, starting to hunt as a young boy and throughout his life until his health would no longer permit. Some of the best times of his life was spent hunting with so many of his good buddies, sitting on a bank fishing with Drew, or just sharing a meal and good times with his family and friends. Like his mother, Gerald never wanted anyone to leave their home hungry whether it be a friend or family when they dropped by, sometimes unexpectantly he always invited them to share a meal, if Sandra didn’t have one prepared already he would say “hon just throw something together” sometimes putting her on the spot but that was just Gerald, he had a big, kind, generous heart the very reason she, the children and grandchildren loved him so much. When you reach the other side, we hope you will find a big patch of woods for you and your favorite coon dog Queenie, and a good fishing hole for those lazy, laid back days “Catch some big one’s dad”. You will be deeply missed by so many who knew you and loved you. We will miss your big hugs and big heartly laugh, but we know you will have found peace at last. We would like to extend a most sincere thank you to Golden Living Center and Southern Care Hospice nurses and staff for the wonderful care and the extra mile you have taken for our beloved husband, dad, and grandfather over the last two years. He loved and appreciated all of you, God bless you all. A memorial service will be held at 1:00pm Monday, September 28, 2020 at the Allen Funeral Home 4155 S.
