The Ghent Community lost a great friend last night. Gabe Christensen passed away peacefully with his wife Kathleen by his side. Gabe was a dedicated and loving father to his two children, Anthony and Rosalie. He worked alongside Patrick Moore at MMC Benefits for 19 years. Gabe was active in community service, including his longtime membership in the Ghent Business Association where he served on numerous committees and on the GBA Board of Directors. He also served with the Kiwanis Club of Norfolk, particularly its annual Harbor Party which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local children’s charities during his involvement with the event. Please, keep the Christensen and Moore families in your thoughts. He will be missed.
