Gerard Egan

Gerard Anthony Egan, age 70, died June 23, 2019, at his home in Quakertown. Born Sept. 5, 1948, he was the son of the late Joseph and Doris (Packard) Egan, and the husband of Elizabeth (Devine) Egan, to whom he was married 33 years at the time of his passing. Jerry is described as a "unique" soul by his family. He worked for over 35 years as a fire sprinkler fitter in the greater Philadelphia region until his retirement in 2004. In his free time, he enjoyed hunting and fishing, cooking and baking (especially his famous stuffing), cake decorating, gardening, watching the History Channel and the Weather Channel, watching musicals, and listening to Karen Carpenter. A true Irishman, he was known for his endless tales of the good old days. A devout family man, he built the house he raised his family in, and hosted every holiday. He will be dearly missed. In addition to his wife, Jerry is survived by: daughters Michele Myers (husband Dean), Joan Martin, and Erin Egan; sons Jerry Egan (wife Pam), and Shawn Egan (wife Jenn); sister Mary Lou O'Donnell (husband Robert); and grandchildren Megan Myers, Aiden Myers, Gavin Egan, Chace Egan, and Kaley Egan. A Memorial Mass will be held at 11:00 AM on Monday, July 1, 2019 at St. Isidore's Roman Catholic Church, 2545 West Pumping Station Road, Quakertown. Calling hours will be from 10:00 AM until the time of the Mass. Interment will be private and at the discretion of the family.
