Hello everyone! Unfortunately as many of you know, the world suddenly and unexpectedly lost an amazing soul on Monday June 1st 2026. Larry Gaub was the epitome of giving the shirt off your back and was the first person to offer his help to family, friends, & strangers alike with no thoughts of receiving anything in return. He was the definition of community within one human being and this is an absolutely tragic loss. Now during the most challenging time, his family needs all the love and support from the same community Larry spent his life serving and loving. During this stressful time there are a multitude of expenses that come along with something this unexpected and the goal is to help ease the burden and weight that this loss carries. As Larry was the main caregiver of his wife Sylvia, part of the funds would go towards the (hopefully) short-term care needed while figuring out future steps towards more permanent full-time care, as well as, medical bills that may come in the future regarding Larry or herself as she has her own set of medical problems. Funds would also go towards cremation services, as well as the cost of a memorial and all things included within that (food, rental space, flowers, etc). In addition, any extra funds would go towards daily needs/household bills for the near future, as Larry was the sole breadwinner/provider for the household.

During this incredibly difficult time, any support—whether through donations or simply sharing this fundraiser—means the world to Larry’s family. Your kindness will help ease the burden and honor Larry’s legacy of generosity and love. Please consider contributing or sharing this page so we can come together as a community, just as Larry always did, and help his family through the days ahead. Thank you for your compassion and support.
