Micah Wendell Gilbert of Porter, Texas was born on January 19th, 2001 in Brownwood, Texas and left his family and friends on December 7, 2017. Micah spent most of his youth in Porter, Texas, where he attended Porter High School for his freshman and sophomore years. He was a junior and proud Crusader at Concordia Lutheran High School in Tomball where he played football and basketball. He grew up playing football, baseball, and basketball with EMCSA and was marked by the class and competitiveness of the coaches and team members in that wonderful organization. Micah was passionate about many things: life, music, sports, family, friends, Jesus. He was active in his youth group at Journey Church, where he was loved and where he blessed those he worshipped alongside. He was the kind of man you couldn't ignore when he walked in a room. He lived with confidence and deep compassion, a mix of toughness and tenderness. He could kick your rear and make you laugh while he did it. Micah's father, Wendell Gilbert, mother, Denise Breazeale Gilbert, and brother, Caleb Gilbert, remain behind longing for Micah's smile, laughter, and caring presence. This world was a better place with Micah in it, and for so many of us this world has lost a good bit of its luster. We look forward to the day when we see that warm smile of his again.
Services were held at Calvary Christian Church on Tuesday December 12, 2017 and he was laid to rest at Rosewood Cemetery, Porter, Texas.

To Micah Gilbert,
You were the lights at the end of the road to me. You were not only the nicest person I knew, but you were a model citizen. I looked up to how much you faced your problems head on, rather than turning away from them. I will always face those lights head on because that is the example you set for me. I will always look up to you Micah Gilbert, and your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your service and Rest In Peace Micah Gilbert.

While the loss of a loved one is never easy, even when anticipated, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon. Your recent loss of your son who has left at such a youthful age is definitely in the category of those hard losses for which there is so painful a reminder of what might have been.
We offer our sincere condolence and deepest sympathy on your loss. May the outpouring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers and the comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by many, help you through this difficult time.
I ask for God's blessings on you and your wonderful family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence and in knowing that his was a life well-lived.
Yours In Peace,
Cathy Richie
