Honoring the Memory of Barry “ Bear” Gaunt

It is with the heaviest heart, I write these words. This memorial fund is to help with funeral costs & expenses to honor one of the greatest men that ever graced the plane of this world.

Barry “Bear” Gaunt was a giant presence in this world both physically and spiritually. He has touched so many lives throughout his good works in this world through so many different communities.

From the back porch of Octagon Hall through the paranormal, weaving through connecting consciousness, his friends and family and all those he met - Bear’s warm and genuine soul was soothing to us all. He was a father figure to some, a brother, teacher, healer, and leader to us all. He was always just a phone call away. His laugh was infectious and his love unconditional.

He has impacted so many lives just by knowing him. His deep wisdom and insight brought comfort and peace to those who were struggling. Always with a listening ear, a helping hand, or a pat on the back, Bear made everyone feel seen, heard, and special.

His beloved wife Twona (Mama Bear) and his family need our support now more than ever in this tragic & unexpected loss of Bear.

It is now time for us - those of us he has helped, to help his family.

If this so moves your heart, please consider donating to give back. Honor Bear’s memory through works of service here in this world as he did all of his life.

Let us take the teachings and memories in our hearts, as we feel Bear’s unyielding presence with us spiritually every day, and continue to love unconditionally and do what we can, where we are, with what we have.

Your act of love and kindness goes directly to Twona to assist in covering the costs associated with Bear’s funeral and expenses.

Bear has eased the burdens of so many souls over the course of his lifetime - it’s now our turn to help his family ease theirs.

From our hearts to yours - and on behalf of the family.

Thank You
