Gerald Bourget

Gerald Slade Bourget, age 24, decided to take his own life on June 27, 2024, after struggling with depression. He was loved by his family, friends and co-workers. Gerry had a kind heart, was very thoughtful towards others, and was a whiz at solving people’s problems with their electronics. He dearly loved animals, listening to his music, building intricate models, and his friend groups. He will be missed beyond measure. He resided in Maplewood, Minnesota, and was born on June 19, 2000, in Arlington, Virginia. He graduated from Hudson High School, Wisconsin, in 2018 and worked most recently for the Washington County Licensing Center in Forest Lake, Minnesota.
He is survived by his father Paul and his mother Lisa (Hudson) and sister Marie (Superior, Wisconsin). A celebration and remembrance of Gerry’s life will be held at Prospect Park in Hudson on Saturday, July 13 from noon to three. Donations in his memory should be directed to the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention.
