Michael Gerber Obituary

November 5, 1957 - February 8, 2019 Michael Gerber, born on November 5, 1957 in Montebello, California, passed away on February 8, 2019 after a long and heroic battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Michael co-founded Great L.A. Mortgage and Larchmont Mortgage Company and served as a founding director and past president of the California Association of Mortgage Professionals. Michael made it his life-long mission to find a cure for MS and help educate the public about the disease. His Los Angeles MS Walk team, The Jiggywiggits, was a perennial top fundraiser at the annual event. He is survived by Gail and their two children and their spouses, Jenica and Jason Visenberg and Adam Gerber and Abby Lane, his siblings Howard Gerber and Sharon Dellimagine and their children Collin Gerber and Anya Dellimagine. He was thrilled to welcome a granddaughter, Zoe Eleanor Lane-Gerber in 2016. A memorial service will be held on Monday February 11th at 12:30PM at Mount Sinai Memorial Park in Burbank, CA. In lieu of flowers the family requests that you make a donation to the MS Walk in the name of the Jiggywiggits: http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/JiggyWiggits2019

Going to Michael and GaIl's MS support group at their local library branch In Los Angeles was always a bright spot In each month for us, local MSers. It is with great sorrow that Michael has passed, especially from such a distance from me now that I reside in Seattle..
Michael's upbeat and forever positive attitude were remarkable.
Despite his early demise he will always be remembered for his caring attitude toward everyone around him, most especially Gail and his immediate family. Gone are his struggles. Rest in peace Michael.
