It's with sadness that I share with you the passing of our dear friend Gabe Waters. If you knew him, you were blessed. He loved people deeply and wore his heart on his sleeve. One could not ask for a better friend. He loved you for who you were.

Gabe is with Jesus now and we celebrate for him, but for us left behind, we mourn this loss.

Gabe leaves behind his wife Kim, his son Isaac, and his mother Judy, who lives with them. In this time of loss, they need all of our support. One can only imagine the grief and hardship losing a husband and father and a son brings upon a family.

I can think of no better way of honoring Gabe than for us to step up together and love his family practically. If you can, please give to this precious family that has always given so much to others and at this time has lost more than anyone can bear.

The expenses that occur upon ones passing are overwhelming in themselves above and beyond the emotional loss of losing a loved one. I invite you to participate in this honor of showing up for Gabe by supporting his family during this time.

These funds will go to help with funeral expenses, major medical bills, and living expenses for his family while they navigate this season.

Please give what you can and pray...

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction... James 1:27
