Please join us as we honor Gilgamesh's memory. From his family: "Life is a play and we all perform a role as one of its many actors. Gilgamesh, or Gil for short, started his career as a small and scared little boy. A lion’s name on a tiny kitten. He shared the starring role with his sister Beemo, and he soon bloomed into a sweet, strong and snuggly man. His favorite role was the powerful hero, fighting his way through all of life’s struggles. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2020, but he took on this challenge with gusto. While many doctors were unsure that he would pull through his hospitalizations, he proved us all wrong and came home the next day. Sadly, just like with every Greek tragedy, the bravest warriors lose their battle. On July 29, 2025, Gil bowed at his final curtain call as he developed kidney failure from five long years treating his heart disease. His send off was bittersweet, but the audience gave him an uproarious applause. His lifelong performance received rave reviews, and everybody who met Gil adored him. Now, with an increasingly silent theatre and the house lights turning on, Gil thought of his mom and dad, of his sister Beemo, and of all the wonderful memories they had together. An unseen curtain opened behind him, he turned, and he started his new adventure into the great beyond.
"We love you so much, Gil. You will be so badly missed, and you were our hero."
