Annual Buckmaster's Disabled Bear Hunt

Warren Christopher Gilmore passed away on his brother's birthday, November 12th at the age of 23. Warren fought a very long and courageous battle with a brain tumor these last four years. He never complained. We miss his spirit, his love of adventure, his bright blue eyes, and his incredible laugh. He left us with many journals that he had written during his battle. His journal entries comfort and encourage us. He asked for God's forgiveness, courage, and salvation; no matter how difficult the day had been, he thanked God for it and said, "This was a Great Day!" He continually asked God to comfort and guide the lives of his family and friends. In May, he was struggling mightily and was surrounded with words of comfort from his Buckmaster's Email friends...thank you from the depths of our hearts for your caring words that let him know he was not alone in this world. One of his greatest highlights was to participate in the Buckmasters’ bear hunt in Canada with Bear Paw Outfitters and other disabled hunters...no words will ever be enough to thank you for this opportunity and the friendship you showered him with! One of his wishes was to have memorial contributions made to Buckmasters’ disabled services in his memory.

Warren is at peace...

thank you for being part of his life. Our Deepest Thanks, Dick, Aletta, Jonathan, and Jaime Gilmore
