David Gilkey

My condolences to the family.

To a cousin I have never met, you passed too soon. If anyone can connect me to his family please e-mail me at [email protected]. I am doing the Gilkey Family history on Ancestry.com

I was great friends with David in grades 3 through 6, and then my family moved. Saw him sporadically from then on, until the last time I at OSU in the physics building. Thanks for catching crawdads with me in Fanno Creek, sledding at Council Crest, climbing on the abandoned blue steam-shovel in the mudflats by Albertsons, and all sorts of shenanigans. Best to your sister, mom, and dad.

Our deepest sympathy to David's family, many friends and co-workers. This is a terrible loss to the world.

We feel so honored to have known and been friends with someone this dedicated to helping people the world over who were suffering and needed us to know their stories through his insightful photographs.

We are so thankful to have had David as a friend and mentor to our son Spence. His life was ever changed after being befriended by David.

Thank you, David, for all...

My sincere condolences for the family and friends for their loss. He was a great photojournalist... It takes courage and skills in order to accomplish an awesome job as he did... May our Heavenly Father grant each one of you of His strength and comfort to help you endure your loss, while you cherish the good memories he had with those he loved...for He can become your Stronghold during this difficult moments... Please accept my sincere condolences.

Since we were kids Dave had a sense of adventure. When he told me at 16 he wanted to be a photojournalist, I knew he would be a darn good one! I will continue to think of him on his birthday, and I will take the lessons I learned from him, with me; and one day I will see him again and give him those valuable lesson back. Like a flash he shined his brilliance on everyone; and now we are all in the dark. Dave man, you are profoundly missed.

David. You were and will always be one of my best friends. I'm lost for words but you know what I want to say as you always did. We couldn't of been closer and farther apart now. I'll miss our talks about the big world and our life's small problems .
I so sorry to all that knew and loved him as I did. Your mother and father , sister, friends and colleagues.So sorry for your loss of David.
The thought of you by any slim chance ,being able to read this David ,will give me some...
