Hi, my name is Sherie Zack and I am raising funds in loving memory of Gary Gorman.

Gary was a big part of our Gorge community, helping to develop the Event site for wind sports and always giving back through community service. His dedication and kindness touched so many lives, and his absence is deeply felt by all who knew him.

During this incredibly difficult time, Gary's family has been navigating not only the emotional loss of someone so deeply loved, but also unforeseen medical expenses that came with his care. The last months brought unexpected challenges, and the financial impact has been significant. We want to honor Gary's memory in a way that reflects his love for the Gorge and the community he helped build.

We are hoping to raise funds for two important purposes: to help cover outstanding and unexpected medical expenses, and to place a memorial bench at the Event site in Gary's honor. The bench will serve as a peaceful place for family, friends, and community members to sit, reflect, and remember the love and light Gary brought into our lives. It will be a lasting tribute—a space filled with quiet moments and cherished memories.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will mean more than we can express. If you're unable to donate, sharing this page would also be deeply appreciated. Thank you for your kindness, support, and for helping us honor Gary's memory in such a meaningful way.

Gary's Celebration Of Life is Sunday May 17th, 1pm at The Gorge Room.

With gratitude
