Gerald M. Dugan
Age 51, of Oak Creek, Wisconsin, passed away in September 2026 after losing his battle with ALS.
Gerald was a loving husband and father, a loyal friend, and a talented web developer, inventor, and creator. Highly intelligent and endlessly creative, Gerald enjoyed working with electronics, woodworking, laser cutting, and 3D printing. He loved music and candy, karaoke and cover bands, chess, playing pool, and classic arcade games. He also loved his Harley Sportster and often wished he had ridden it more. He is also known for his creation, “Barbot,” which along with his unique personality, made every party more fun.
Gerald worked for Executive Director Incorporated (EDI) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Above all, Gerald was devoted to the people he loved. He is survived by his beloved wife, Jaime Dugan (nee Toldness); his loving sons, Colin Dugan and Noah Dugan; and his mother, Paula Matarrese. He is further survived by his sister-in-law, Teresa (Eugene) Vaughan; his in-laws, Greg and Cynthia Aloia; his aunt, Margaret Merlo; his nieces and nephews, Tyler, Sara, Charlotte, and Miles; and many other dear relatives and friends.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Gerald. Paula, I’m sending you and your family all my love.
I was good friends with Gerry while we were in high school. We shared a love of heavy metal music and had a similar sense of humor. Unfortunately, we lost touch after high school. I am sad to hear about his passing, but also very happy to hear about his beautiful family and career. My thoughts and prayers are with them going forward.
Jaime and family, I am so sorry to hear about your husband’s passing. It sounds like he was a great family man and talented guy. My heart feels for you.
Condolences to Jaimie and the boys. Jerry was a great guy and loved his family.
Paula, we are so sorry to hear about your son’s passing, Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you and the whole family.
I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers and love to the whole family.
The loss of someone who is the center of your world is hard to bear whenever it occurs. Get strength from each other as you mourn his passing.
