Wes Gilligan

We are all saddened by the sudden loss of our dear friend Wes Gilligan. Wes was kind and loyal with an adventurous spirit, contagious to everyone he met. His legacy will never be forgotten.

To honor Wes, his family will be hosting a Celebration of Life on March 2nd in White Salmon, WA.

There will be a memorial paddle down the Lower White Salmon, followed by an afternoon gathering at the White Salmon Grange Hall with music, food, and sharing memories that exemplify the spirit of Wes.

Donations made to this Gofundme will help alleviate the financial burdens of bringing Wes home, family travel to White Salmon, and the costs of throwing the celebration. Any remaining funds will be donated to American Whitewater and the Skamania County Search and Rescue.

Nate Herbeck is gathering photos and videos of Wes for a slide show at the celebration. Please share any you have with Nate so they can be included: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/5jslaulsyjj113si1tvij/h?rlkey=0ov1rl6088niqp7zef9e7mwb9&dl=0
