Michael and Naomi Gibson, "The Giver," DRT Nov.. 2015

Michael Gibson, June 15, 1964 - Dec. 8, 2017

Our dear friend and DRT actor, Michael Gibson, passed away in the early hours, Friday, December 8, 2017. His death was caused by an aggressive cancer that was beginning to tell on Michael even as he performed so beautifully with us in "Walk Two Moons" last year. Michael fought bravely and was supported by a broad community and a loving family.

The last time I saw Michael was only last month when he came, weak, but well-supported by family and friends, to sit on the front row as Naomi performed her DRT acting class fall showcase. Michael never missed Naomi's shows. Now we will miss him, but we will not forget.

A memorial service is being planned for Michael; we will post the details on our Michael Gibson web page.
