Greg "Gibby" Gibson Obituary (1979 - 2016)

Greg Gibson "Gibby" Born June 25, 1979 in Redmond, WA and died tragically January 8, 2016 in a house fire with his loyal dog "Nino" at his side in Shoreline, WA. Survived by his parents, Gerry and Bonnie Gibson; sisters, Emily Bennett (Del) and Colleen Rowe; nieces and nephew, Fiona, Quentin, Angelica and Mikayla; loving partner, Ben Arao; and a large extended loving family. Greg was the heart and soul of punk rock in the Seattle/Puget Sound area and beyond for nearly 20 years. He started as a drummer in his "Quicktips" band, and later "Can't Complain", then "Mind Candy" and other local bands. This all evolved into what became his life's passion, Local Chaos Productions. Greg didn't care about getting rich. A fellow musician friend said what he cared about most were the people around him, his friends, family, relationships, and his music. He said, in that regard, Greg was the most wealthy man he knew. A celebration of life gathering will be held Saturday, January 16 at 1 PM at the Thomas Family Farm 9010 Marsh Rd, Snohomish, WA 98296 In honor of Greg, please ensure you have smoke alarms and that they are functional.
