Gerald Keith Washington was born on July 6, 1970 in Queens, New York as the only son to
Kenneth and Anita Washington. Gerald was raised in the Queensbridge Houses in Long Island
City, Queens, New York along with his older sister, Sherita Washington.
Gerald married his long time love, Gina Marie Still on August 21, 1999 but began their courtship
in late 1993. They started their family in New York City but later raised their three sons: Gerald
Jr., Justin, and Jaylen in Loganville, Gwinnett, Georgia.
Affectionately known as Jay Jay, Jay Budda, or just Budda to many that knew him with an
unmistakable laugh, Gerald was an unwavering fan of the New York Knicks basketball team.
His favorite basketball player was Bernard Taylor. He was an avid sports fan following all of the
updates in basketball and football. Gerald was employed with Gwinnett Medical Center for 14
years until taking disability in 2015. Gerald also loved vacationing at the beach and intended to
travel more internationally.
After a long illness, Gerald quietly transitioned to Eternal Life surrounded by his loving family
and friends on November 12, 2017 in Snellville, Gwinnett, Georgia. To cherish his memories,
Gerald is survived by his wife: Gina Marie Still-Washington; three sons: Gerald K. Washington
Jr., Justin E. Washington, and Jaylen A. Washington; his parents: Kenneth & Anita Washington;
one sister: Sherita Washington; mother-in-law: Charlotte Drinkard; sisters-in-law: Lisa (Michael)
Wilson and Deidre (David) Willingham; brother-in-law: Dario Still; and best friends that he
considered brothers: Anthony Clarke (cousin), Elliot Banks, Richard Moultrie, Reginald Rhodes,
and Timothy Ballard. Gerald was loved by a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins,
and so many friends from childhood to adulthood.

Gerald you know that you are in good hand right now RIP
To one of my brother’s best friends from childhood who I only knew as Buddha never knowing his real name and I becoming good friends with his sister Sherita later in my adult life. I got the opportunity to bond with his mom and dad several years ago at their home. We had a great time sharing memories playing cards and laughing. His mom told me she adored my brother Tjader. I was sadden at first when I seen the post on Facebook. I had just ask Sherita how buddah was doing. But now I know he is at peace once I spoke to Sherita. All I could do was remember all of the times Buddha shared with my brothers and all of the rest of the 40 busters. He will truly be missed. Praying going out to his wife, children, mom, dad, my girl Sherita and his entire family.
My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. May God give you the peace that you seek.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Gina and family. My heart is very heavy. You are and angle and you will be missed. (RIP Gerald ) no more suffering.
To Gina Marie and Family, I send you my heartfelt condolences on the loss of Gerald aka Budda. May God give you and your boys comfort during your difficult time. There are no words that will make it “better”, though I hope the caring words of others will fill you with a tiny bit of joy. With love I send this to you. You are in my prayers.
Our sympathies to the family.
Best Regards,
All your friends at
