In Loving Memory of Gerry Kollath
Al Bartraw Jr. DAV Chapter 50 Chesterfield, VA
It is with deep sadness and heartfelt respect that DAV Chapter 50 announces the passing of our fellow veteran and friend, Gerry Kollath, on May 2, 2026.
Gerry faithfully served our chapter, demonstrating unwavering dedication to veterans, their families, and the mission of the Disabled American Veterans organization. His commitment to service, camaraderie, and supporting fellow veterans left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing and working beside him.
Gerry will be remembered for his loyalty, willingness to help others, and the genuine care he showed to our veteran community. His contributions to DAV Chapter 50 and the lives he touched will not be forgotten.
On behalf of the officers, members, and friends of DAV Chapter 50, we extend our deepest condolences to Gerry’s family, loved ones, and friends during this difficult time.
We honor his service, cherish his memory, and thank him for his dedication to veterans and our nation.
Rest in Peace, Comrade Gerry Kollath.
