10/20/2018 - Gerald 'Turk' Sharp

Gerald was born on October 29, 1967 in Pine Ridge, SD to Albert Sharp Sr. and Julia (Richards) Sharp. He passed away at his home in Allen, SD on October 15, 2018.
Gerald graduated from Bennett County High School in 1985. He worked for McCollam Construction from 1990-1995. He also drove the school bus for American Horse School from 2002-2011.
Most of all, Gerald was a lifetime rancher. He loved the cowboy life and lived life to the fullest. He wasn’t a man of many loving words. Everyone who knew him knew he had “no filter.” He enjoyed the company of his family and friends at his favorite “watering hole,” the bowling alley. Many a good time was had, from playing cribbage with Rich to listening to his favorite songs, to all the good conversations and laughs that were had together. He loved them all.
Gerald is survived by life-long partner and best friend Delinda Simmons of Allen, SD; children Jessica (Jonathan) Huber of Parmelee, SD and Layne (Cassie) Sharp of Allen, SD; brother Roger (Karla) Sharp of Allen, SD; sisters LaVonne McCollam of Allen, SD and Carmen (John) Cedar Face of Rapid City, SD; and grandchildren Laura, Kaitlyn, Jakob, Paisley, Layne Jr., Aiden, Carter, and Macy.
Gerald was preceded in death by parents Albert Sr. and Julia Sharp; brothers Robert and Albert Sharp Jr.; and sister Alberta Sharp.
Pallbearers will be Justin Sharp, Brad Sharp, Bo Sharp, Jonathan Huber, Rich Toczek, Mitchell DuBray, Jay Doyle, and Ben Sharp.
Sioux Funeral Home of Pine Ridge, SD is in charge of arrangements for Gerald “Turk” Dean Sharp.
