Gerald Gabhart

Jerry passed away quietly after a brief illness on the evening of July 26, 2013 at the age of 79. Jerry was preceded in death by his parents Bernard and Dorothy and a brother Richard. He was a proud graduate of St. Mary's High School in Stockton and the University of California, Berkeley. He served his country in the US Army and spent most of his working life at Cal-West Life Insurance and EDS. Even though he never married and never had children of his own, he was an enthusiastic supporter of youth athletics in the Arden/Carmichael area and served as a Board member of Eastern Little League. Jerry would travel great distances to watch his 'nieces and nephews' play baseball, football, basketball, soccer, and run track. The kids will miss him; referees will not. He is survived by his lifelong friends in the Brothers/Jones/Ospeck families. A funeral Mass was celebrated on Thursday August 1, 2013 at 2:00 PM at Our Lady of the Assumption Church located at 5057 Cottage Way in Carmichael. Private entombment took place at St. Mary's Cemetery. Remembrances in his honor may be made to Eastern Little League, PO Box 92, Carmichael, CA 95609.
