He attended school in Sheridan and Big Horn, WY, and graduated from Big Horn High School in 2009.Following graduation, he worked at various truck driving jobs, including following the grain harvest with a custom harvesting crew. He greatly enjoyed his time with them. He then moved to the Black Hills of South Dakota, working on logging crews and with skidders.  He soon began Bear Creek Trucking, hauling logs and livestock, depending on the season. He was fearless in his pursuit of logs in out-of-the-way locations, driving his huge loads on steep and narrow mountain roads. He worked hauling burned trees, from significant fire locations, in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Montana, and Idaho, and the Appalachian Mountains of Georgia and Tennessee, in addition to his regular logging work in the Black Hills National Forest and Big Horn National Forest. He would drive his rigs anywhere, in all kinds of weather.He was fastidious in keeping his trucks clean. When he was younger, he spent his winters snowmobiling in the Big Horns with his brother and his father, and skiing/snowboarding with his brother and his mother. He was an avid reader, and self educated in many aspects of US History. He enjoyed all activities at the family cabin in the Big Horn Mountains. He also treasured the time spent helping his father and grandma run the ranch.Gerald is survived by his mother, Belinda L. Powers of Belle Fourche, SD, and his brother, David B.
