"The Cross Communications Family is deeply saddened and devastated by the sudden loss of our beloved employee, Gere Walden.
Gere was so much more than an employee to us, he was a valued member of our family. His kindness, hard work, and dedication touched each of us in ways that words can hardly express. We will miss his presence, his humor, and the positive energy he brought to every day.
During this incredibly difficult time, our hearts are with Gere's son, Thomas, his mother Janice, and his brother Timmy. Our thoughts and prayers are with them, and we stand by their side in their grief and sorrow.
We understand the public’s concern, but due to the ongoing investigation surrounding this tragic event, we are unable to share any further details at this time. We ask for your understanding and respect as we support Gere’s family and navigate through this painful chapter.
In the coming days, we will be working together to find ways to honor Gere’s memory and ensure his legacy lives on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him. For now, we ask that you keep his loved ones in your thoughts and prayers and offer them the privacy and peace they need to mourn this loss."
