I have a lot of pictures of Gage over the years I have taken, and this was probably my favorite for some reason. He was a beautiful baby, a sweet, creative, silly, kind boy, and an intelligent overall lovely young man. So loved by so many. He will be unbearably missed. Sending so much love

I’m so very sorry for your loss. There are no words-many many prayers for your family. Gage was Dom’s first friend at MHS freshman year. Dom, being a military kid and new to this tight knit community, was anxious heading into high school. Gage was the most kind to him. I will never forget Dom coming home to tell me about his new friend Gage and how much they shared in common. You raised a kind soul. He will never be forgotten.

#25 Comment By Jeanette Simons On November 10, 2023 @ 5:37 pm

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad he had friends Like Dom!

Lifting up your family in prayers for comfort and peace. Our family remembers him as a sweet boy at MES who played Tball with Taryn and tag with her on the playground. Fly high sweet Gage.
“And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand“

I’ve known gage since preschool, it absolutely breaks my heart. I will forever miss him sitting by me in child development class this year. I am so sorry for your loss, but know he was a such a great person and will always be missed by all of the students at Mascoutah High School!

I’ve been trying for a few days to figure out what to write here to no avail. There are no words to express how I feel about this. I’m so sorry for your loss. MHS students are grieving him.

I didn’t know Gage very well but he seemed like a nice kid, I would’ve loved to be his friend. I had him in some of my classes freshman year and I saw him almost everyday in the hallway and it’s been tough not being able to see him. I’m sorry for your loss and the family of Gage have my condolences. Rest in peace Gage, you will be missed by many.
