If you ever had the pleasure of crossing paths with Gumba, you knew that he had the insane ability to light up a room with solely his presence. The laughs were always abundant and the jokes were plenty. He touched the lives of so many people and righteously so. He’d give his last dollar and the shirt right off of his back if he felt you needed it.  He was the type of of person you only come across once in a lifetime. He loved hard and was just as hard headed. As many of you know, the loss of his mother just a short nine months ago, shattered his world. Now, once again, our worlds have been shattered and the loss is insurmountable. No words can ever describe what Gumba meant to all of us. He leaves behind an enormous void in our hearts and our family will never be the same without him. We take comfort in knowing that he has been reunited with his mom and is suffering no longer.

Please, if you can find it in your hearts to contribute anything you can to help us cover some of the medical expenses and to give our Gumba the proper memorial that he deserves.
