'There was always supposed to be more time, Jesse. If there's anything I've learned, it's how precious every moment is,' Firefighter Gerhard's sister-in-law says on his brother's behalf. Watch the funeral live now on CBS News New York
"There was always supposed to be more time, Jesse. If there's anything I've learned, it's how precious every moment is," Gerhard's sister-in-law said on his brother's behalf."I can't explain how proud I was of you, how you lived out your dreams, and you inspired me every day.""It's just such a tremendous loss," childhood friend Erik Matthews told Dias.
"Ever since I knew him -- and we knew each other since we were basically toddlers -- he always loved firefighting. And you could tell just from day one, he wanted to be a firefighter," Matthews said. "We've all put ourselves in perilous situations or made the effort to protect life and property in New York City and New York State, and circumstances are just different. So that's why we have a connection to Jesse and his family," another mourner added.Many at Gerhard's funeral said no matter what, they will always be there for his family.
He also remembered Gerhard's woodworking skills, saying he learned on YouTube how to build a breakroom table for Station 10 in Manhattan and even signed the bottom of it.
