AUGUST CHAZAN-GABBARD Obituary

CHAZAN-GABBARD Please Sign the Guestbook @ Jacksonville.com August Chazan-Gabbard died on October 15, 2013. He was born on March 5, 1999 in San Francisco to Ilene Chazan and Chris Gabbard. Due to birth complications, he lived with cerebral palsy and cognitive impairment. A resident of Jacksonville since 2001, he attended Mt. Herman and DLC Nurse & Learn. He is survived by his eleven-year-old sister, Clio. In 2011, a widely read essay about August appeared in Papa PhD: Essays on Fatherhood (Rutgers Univ. Press) and was reprinted as A Life Beyond Reason in The Chronicle of Higher Education and other publications. The essay argued that, despite his severe impairments, he was living a life full of joy and that his was a life worth living. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be sent to DLC Nurse & Learn, 4101-1 College St, Jacksonville, FL 32205, 387-0370.

I am so saddened to learn of August's passing. I will always remember how sweet he was and how much he loved to play with shiny beads as a toddler. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

August's shining light was apparent in his smile and laugh on the few occasions I was fortunate enough to have met him. He and his family are loved by so many, as was apparent at the moving remembrance service for him on Saturday. To the Chazan-Gabbard's: May your shared love for August's life bring your family a shared strength and comfort for the days ahead.

August will be missed deeply at Mt. Herman. His smile always warmed our entrance when he came through the front doors. It was a sad day when I learned of his passing. I wish you blessings and peace in the coming days ahead.
