Gerry Turner knows what love feels like and felt it with his wife, Toni. The reality star married his soulmate in 1974 and looked forward to spending the rest of his life with her. He told Variety, “I was happily married for 43 years, that was a wonderful lifestyle for me.” Unfortunately, in 2017, Toni got sick and tragically died not long after, per People. Initially, Turner kept things about his wife a bit more private, but as the season slowly approaches, fans are getting more insight into Turner’s life with Toni.
In a teaser released by ABC, Turner spoke more in-depth about how Toni fell ill. The reality star revealed he and Toni bought their dream lake house not long after she retired, ready to embark on this new chapter in life together. But, things took a turn for the worse shortly after. He shared, “We went to the emergency room, and she had a bacterial infection that infected her kidneys and infected her liver. And so I took my wife to the emergency room on July 7, and she passed away on July 15.” He continued, “Now every time I look at [the lake outside my house], I go, ‘This is her dream. This is what she deserves. Why am I standing here alone?'” Turner grieves the loss of his wife, but as time has passed, he realizes that she would want him to be happy.
