Obituary for Gerald Delaney Henagan Print A celebration of life service for Gerald D. Henagan will be held on Friday, February 8, 2019 in the Chapel of Gallagher Funeral Home with Reverend Nathan Martin officiating. Interment will follow in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Ball, LA, under the direction of Gallagher Funeral Home and Crematory, Ball, LA. Gerald Delaney Henagan departed this life on February 6, 2019.
Gerald was born on December 25, 1939 to the late E.A. and Bennie Henagan. On July 1, 1960, he married his high school sweetheart Linda Graves Henagan, and they enjoyed 58 years of love, life and laughter. Gerald was a 1958 graduate of Tioga High School and enjoyed keeping up with his classmates at their many gatherings over the years.
After graduation, he joined the Army National Guard as a medic. He could take care of you if you were bleeding, but would pass out at the sight of his own blood. Gerald became a licensed barber prior to starting a career with Acme Brick.
He continued cutting his sons, grandsons, and other family members hair in his barber chair on the back porch for many years. Gerald travelled all over Rapides and Avoyelles parishes as a trusted brick salesman for 39 years with Acme Brick. Gerald was a proud father of his children and coached his sons, nephews and their friends baseball teams for years at Ward 10.
They were definitely the 70’s version of the Bad News Bears. Over the past few years, he enjoyed gardening with his daughter and spending time with her dog, Bell. Gerald truly enjoyed being a grandfather.
He travelled with his grandsons through their many years of sports competitions and enjoyed his granddaughters. He was quite a jokester and often promised them $100 for accomplishments, then would give them a paper IOU. A few years later, he would slip a hundred dollar bill in a card to pay for that IOU.
Gerald was first and foremost a Godly man. He was a member of Christian Challenge Worship Center and loved gospel music. He loved his family and all of the occasions that brought us together.
If it were up to him, we would have had Thanksgiving dinner every Sunday. Preceding Gerald in death were his parents, brother Waldon Henagan, and son Jeffery Henagan. He is survived by his wife, Linda Henagan; sons, Stewart D. Henagan (Jamie) and Chad Henagan; daughter, Melinda Henagan; brothers, Dalton Henagan (Brenda) and Chester Henagan (Crystal), sister, Norma Molan; brother-in-law, Richard Graves; sisters-in-law, Faye Carnahan and Shirley Scullane; grandchildren, Stewart J. Henagan (Kelcie), Sarah Elizabeth Henagan, Casey Henagan (Andrea), Emily Henagan, Meagan Howard (Jake), George Henagan, and Allie Henagan; great grandchildren; Blaze Henagan, Delaney Henagan, and Aspen Henagan; along with numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends.
2 Timothy 4:7- I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Gerald will be remembered for a fighting spirit to live, up through his last day on earth. He literally had nine lives (ask Dalton about the mayhaw trip)!
The family would like to thank Heart of Hospice for their compassionate care through this difficult time. Pallbearers honored to serve will be Stewart J. Henagan, Casey Henagan, Jake Howard, Greg Henagan, Darcy Henagan, and Michael Henagan.
