Gerardo Marín

What a beautiful tribute to an amazing man who was a gift to us all, even those of us who knew him only from afar and not in person.

To me and to so many, Gerardo Marín embodied all the best elements of what draws us to USF - deep internationality solidarity, profound commitment to diversity, and authentic ethical relationships. He had the great gift of making many people (like me) feel as if we shared a special bond with him - which is why his loss is so painful. Without his confidence in my ability to lead an immersion program to the Ecuadorian Amazon, I never would have taken on this whole challenge. But his belief in...

What a beautiful tribute to a man who made a great difference in the lives of so many people. Holding you in the light and sending you love.

In a world so full and busy, the lost of Gerard Marin makes a void in all our hearts. Love and Blessings to his family.
