Dear Family & Friends,
We are all deeply saddened by the unexpected passing of Ben Gifford in a motorcycle accident on July 31st. He and a friend were traveling along Ben’s favorite Kings Valley Highway near Dallas, Oregon. While navigating a familiar curve in the road, for a reason unknown to us, Ben veered from the highway and lost control of his bike. The ensuing crash took his life at the scene. We are indebted to the first responders, who included witnesses, Medics, and the Polk County Fire Department. They comforted Ben in the last moments of his life, and we are eternally grateful.
Many of you have asked how you can help – first and foremost, please keep his wife and the family in your thoughts and prayers. With all things unexpected, financial challenges are building. If you can help with the costs associated with the accident, mortuary service, and responding to other expenses related to his passing – it would be so appreciated.
We thank everyone for your incredible outpouring of love and support.
Rest in peace, Ben/Doc!
