Help cover mounting bills for Dan Giorgi's family
After a 2-week battle with COVID-19, Dan Giorgi was called home by the Lord Jesus Christ on Sunday, July 25, 2021. Dan was a Major and a Chaplain in the Air Force, retiring after 23 years of service. In addition, he taught Biblical Studies as an Adjunct Professor at the University of the Incarnate Word for six years, worked as a Chaplain in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in Angleton, Texas for two years, and worked for the past three years as a correctional officer.
Married to Karen for 23 years, they had three children: 22-year-old Elijah, 20-year-old Ina, and 18-year-old Jonathan. Despite the children’s special needs challenges, including two with autism, Dan was always willing to explore and pay for critical biomedical interventions and therapies -- no matter the expense. While the overwhelming majority of fathers with children with autism abandon their families because of the never-ending stress, he stayed true to his marital vows to Karen and adored his children.
Needless to say, Karen needs help with end-of-life expenses and mounting daily bills. Please consider giving a generous gift through this GoFundMe page to help her cover this urgent need. She would be deeply grateful.
Please share this link on Facebook. The response to a GoFundMe campaign increases by 350% when friends and family take the time to do that.
On a personal note, I want to share an email below that Dan sent me in October 2010 which beautifully reveals the kind of godly man Dan Giorgi was. When he learned that my weekday, 3-hour Christian radio talk show on 630, KSLR here in San Antonio, Texas had been replaced by a nationally syndicated program, he sent me this kind and compassionate email.

Adam,
Grace and Peace to you, my brother. Karen and I were disappointed when we heard the news of your release. However, your focus on the sovereignty of God is correct. I, like so many, want to encourage you and Amy to take this time to draw nearer to God and grow in your devotion with Him. So often we are seeking God for direction, that we fail to just enjoy the relationship with Jesus. This is one of the pitfalls of ministry! God may have you in a pit stop so you can finish the race. Such was the case with Moses (40 years) and Paul (17 years). Hopefully, yours won’t be that long.
I, too, am in a period of transition as I prepare to leave the Air Force Chaplain Corps after 23 years of active and reserve service, 11 years of which as a chaplain. My ultimate goal is to teach Church History and Theology to counter the gross influx of false and heretical teaching that has plagued the Church.
Blessings! Dan Giorgi
