Who will honor- his memory through continued practice of compassion and mindful living. 

He is proceeded in death by his parents Bob and Robbie Gilmore, his in-laws Dennis and Sharron Maestas, and his oldest Son J.D. Gilmore to whom which he was very close to. He never wanted for anyone to be sad or to even shed a single tear in his passing.
