David John Gahm

I had the great fortune of meeting and working with Mr. Gahm on a project for a Collaboration project we were working together on. I had just happened to bring my son along with me so he could see Alaska. Mr. Gahm invited us to take a quick trip along the Kenai. The result was my son and I having an experience neither of us will ever forget. My son and I are truly lucky to have met Mr. Gahm and will always have a space for him in our heart.

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Lee & Abby,

We were so sorry to hear about Dave. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Mary

I was lucky enough to have met David and was even luckier to have spent time with him on the Kenai. I met David as part of a professional visit and during that visit he offered to take me on the Kenai for a weekend trip. That weekend with David is one of the greatest experiences I will ever have. He took myself and my son on a trip that will be forever a part of both our memories.

I am truly blessed to have had David cross my life.

Hi,
I didn't get to know Dave as much as I really wanted to. The little I know of Dave was from a project between Alaska USA and Polycom (where I worked). The last time I saw Dave was December 2007 and we both chatted about arranging a backpacking trip. We never finished making plans... events like this remind me that life is not something to be taken for granted and that truly all of us should be thankful for everyday that we wake up and are here.

Lee and family,
We were so shocked and sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Dave was a special person who loved life and his family more than words can describe. May God be with you and comfort you during this time of sorrow.

I had the privilege to work with David both at ARCO and AKUSA, while I was employed at ATU/ACS. An outstanding Network/Telecom Engineer as well as a very nice guy. Sorry to lose such a talented person.

Dear Clinton John,
Sometimes lifes challenges are questioned, why? May you keep God first in your life as you put one foot in front of the other to accept God's plan. It will take time to heal, time to learn to live without your dad's physical presence, and time to become at peace. As a mother, I wish I could heal your heart. Your dad will live on in your heart and will always be with you in spirit. Know that your dad truly loved you and was very proud of you. I am here. How very proud I am of you. I love you. Mom

Dear Lee and Abby,& Jason,
May God guide you thru this difficult time. Dave was a wonderful man, and his spirit will live on. I wish you peace and healing. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you. Jean

I had the privilege of working with Dave during the past few years. I remember one day he called just to say that I was doing a good job and he appreciated me. I will never forget that call. Dave was always kind and patient and he had a sincere kindness that made him shine.

To his family, and his Alaska USA family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless

I never met Dave in person but I knew him for years through our online community of telemark and backcountry skiers. I always enjoyed reading his thoughtful posts, in which his love of the sport was obvious, though clearly surpassed by his love of family and the pride he had in his kids, especially on our board for Abby and her freeheel skiing skills.

On behalf of our community of many thousands, I offer our sincere condolences to Dave's wife and children for their loss. He will be missed by many.

Dear Lee and family,

We are so grieved for your premature loss. David lived his life fully and readily shared his voyages and adventures with family and friends. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. You remain in our thoughts and prayers.

There is nothing I can say about Dave that everyone does not already know. Dave was an awesome person and will be greatly missed.

I met Dave through skiing. It didn't take me long to realize how much he loved his wife and his kids and what a gift they were. What an incredible individual. Thank you for our time together Dave and God bless your family. You and your family will be in our prayers.

Please accept my sincere condolences for the tragic and untimely loss of Dave. As a valued coworker, Dave was instrumental in the continuous improvement attained by the Alaska USA Federal Credit Union data/phone network over the last 7 years. Dave's expansive wealth of knowledge was tapped by many of his coworkers which in turn helped all of us grow professionally. Dave was very focused on finding the best ways to solve our challenges and often brought his unique brand of humor to most any situation. Dave will surely be missed.

Dave encouraged my son to be all that he could be and for that I will always be grateful to him.

My condolences go out to Dave's family, friends & co-workers. As an FNBA employee, I occasionally worked with Dave on telecomm issues. His contributions to the community through his work will be greatly missed, as will he. God Bless ~ Valerie B.

I work at AKUSA as well and whenever I spoke to Dave on the phone he was always kind to me.
