Miami, Florida - On Thursday, August 18, 2022 Gerald Nathan Volante lost his 25 -year battle with kidney disease. He received a kidney transplant on November 18, 2018. We were so hopeful. He was born July 17, 1971.

In December,2021 he contracted Covid Virus. In April he began to show signs that something might be wrong. During his last month he contracted Lymphoma.

He will be interned with his aunt, Sylvia, he called her Sasha. Who knew 27 years later he would join her.

Gerald Nathan is survived by his parents Anthony and Shirley Dulbs Volante, Miami. He is also survived by his cousins Lois Murray Lastra, Miami Lakes and Bianca Lastra Moreno.

He is also survived by his Uncle and Aunt, Michael and Mary Jo Volante,

Miami Lakes and his aunt and Uncle Alba and Tony DiGiorgio, Boca Raton, Gabe and Rosa Volante, who never forgot is birthday, Coconut Creek.

He was born at North Miami General Hospital. He was baptized at Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church, Miami Beach.

Gerald Nathan graduate from Von Wedel School and Miami Country Day School. He earned 2 undergradu­ate degrees from Barry University. One in Economics and Finance and one in Math. Miami/Dade County Public Schools was his employer for the past 15 years.

He began with Doctors Charter School, then Miami Edison High School and finally with Miami Northweste­rn High School. He cared for his students.

He was a very private person; his friends will attest to that. Teri, Christine and his other friends miss him terribly. They took him out for his birthday in July, he had a great time. Who knew it would be his last birthday.

Gerald Nathan’s father and I would like to thank the doctors and staff at Jackson Memorial Hospital for the caregiving every time he was a patient.The past 18 days were difficult and when you hear ‘no hope’ it’s awful. They made us feel better.

His cardiologi­st, Dr. Cesar Pellerano and his staff gave him excellent care for the past 24 years.

If you wish, give a gift to a charity of your choice. If I left anyone out, forgive me.

Viewing will be for 3 hours on Monday, August 29 between the hours of 5 pm and 8pm at Vista Funeral Home, 5755 NW l42 Street, Miami Lakes. Florida 33014. Internment will be private.
