For our loving son, we watched you grow over the years from a shy young boy into a mature young man.  Although the world keeps turning and the sun comes up each day, life will never be the same since you have gone away.  You were a special son, good, gentle and kind.  You have left the greatest memories and thoughts of you behind.  We only wish there was a way we could see you one more time to thank you for the joy you brought into our lives.  We will love you always and forever.  So much love, Dad, Lisa and family.

Dear Gage, the greatest joy I've ever done is the job of raising you.  I wouldn't trade a minute of time I have spent caring for you, cheering for you and watching you grow.  I have laughed with you and celebrated victories.  I have worried about you and shared in your hurts.  And through it all, you have filled my heart with love beyond compare.  I am so proud of you.  Love, Momma and Justin.

Gage is also survived by his sisters, Jocelyn S. Towber and Olivia G. Towber; and brothers, Zachary M. Oakes, Sawyer A. Towber, Nash C. Towber and Sabastian Lasher; maternal grandparents, Diane A. Rhodes and Jack Besash; and paternal grandparents, Mary E. Towber and Ken Miller.
