Not sure what to say?

Gib, we miss you! Always pleasant thoughts, especially when we see Dasha and of course Mary as such a loving mother. You left great memories, Gib. Just have to keep reminding myself that we live on earth to be born into eternal life.

I went to Mt. Carmel with Gibbie. What a wonderful guy who was always happy and always smiling wide. He was the kid of guy you wanted to be around and hang out with. He was a great athlete packed in a small package.

I am so sorry I didn't reconnect with him more once he was back in Chicago. He will always have a place in my heart.

Gibson was doing a follow up on an appraisal I just had done as I needed some further information. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Gibson. I only met him once as he came to do an appraisal for our home. He was very professional and did a great job, but more than that, he appeared to be just such a nice pleasant genuine happy man. We talked for a bit as he was doing his appraisal and you could tell what a family man he was....I told him any other appraisals I need for further properties...

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sunshine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.


On behalf of my brother John, Jim and my sister Maureen our most heartfelt prayers,thoughts and condolences to the Fagan family.

We just found out and are so unbelievably sorry for your loss! Gibby was always there for my parents, helping in any way he could, whenever possible. Such a wonderful man!!!!

Gib was a terrific guy in every way. Your world lit up whenever you saw him. He was a great friend to my brother Kevin. We should all try to be like Gib. My prayers and condolences to his family and his football fields filled with his many friends.

Sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort strengthen you doing this difficult time. Psalms 83 : 18.

Words will never be able to express how much you will be missed Gibby. The love of life, family and friends was so evident.
to quote Father Gavin Quinn (you were one of the good guys).
I am so sorry Mary and Dasha and all of your family and friends who had the honor of knowing and loving you.
Heaven has a new star!

Sending thoughts and prayers to Gib's family. He really was a leader of our Class at Mt. Carmel, and a pretty cool guy . Always a class act.
