Michael W. Gurash
It is with great sadness to announce that Michael W. Gurash passed away on January 2, 2025. Michael was a longtime resident of Watsonville, CA and member of the Watsonville Seventh-day Adventist Church. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was a quiet person and had a great love for his family.
He is survived by his wife, two children, four grandchildren, and sister.
We have that blessed hope that, one day soon, we will meet up with Michael again. What a glorious day that will be!
