This year, Lucky Craft pro staff member Gerald Swindle will honor the memory of his brother, Tony, in the form of a new tattoo. Tony passed away in March of 2008 after fighting a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Since that time, something has been burning inside of Gerald.
“This tattoo honors Tony, but even more than that, it’s about my mom,” Swindle said. “I have been concerned for several months about my mom, and I feel like even though she doesn’t really come out and say it, I think she feels that Tony is going to be forgotten. I don’t want that to happen or for my mom to think that. This tattoo, for me, is not about being cool or showing off or anything like that. It’s about my mom, my brother and never forgetting.”
Well done Gerald!
Dear Gerald, There aren’t any words that anyone can say but how very sorry everyone is about your Bro. I would just like to say just think how many times he said that’s my brother and how proud he was of you and your accomplishments. No one can ever take the memories you 2 shared and also as a family. I don’t think there aren’t too many people that this disease hasn’t touched. My mom 2X Breast Cancer and my dad bone Cancer. You’re a strong man and your bro would want you to keep goin’. God Bless and your family’s in my prayers. Take Care of MOM
