Amy Gerard

Born on January 3, 1972, in Lansing Michigan to Jean and the late Glen Gerard, Amy lived a radiant, full and beautiful life that touched many people.

Amy was a loving wife, daughter, sister, and aunt whose warmth and presence left a lasting impression on all who knew her. She shared her life with her husband, Ryan King, and was deeply devoted to her family and friends.

A proud Purdue University graduate and Boilermaker to the core, Amy poured her passion and positivity into her endeavors. She found joy and peace on the waters of Lake Leelanau, where many cherished memories were made.
