My deepest condolences to you, Arion and Marnia.

I knew Gary before his internet porn addiction work. We were close friends since meeting in 1993 and although we were not in great contact these past years, I considered him a dear and personal friend. He always remained close in my heart.

Although I vaguely knew of the recent work he was doing, I had no idea of the global awareness he was pioneering. Since his passing I have watched and listened to his many interviews and podcasts. I have read countless comments from the men whose lives were impacted by Gary's endless work. Still, four weeks later, I continue to be blown away...but not surprised. The Gary I knew was an innate teacher. He was witty yet deeply compassionate. He knew how to be present. He understood suffering and consciousness. He contributed profound healing at a crucial time to a crisis affecting millions of people. It may not have been the life he intended to live, but it was the life he passionately fulfilled.

The loss is immeasurable. But his legacy will outlive all of us and continue to benefit humanity. Rest In Peace, Dear Gary! You rest forever in our hearts.
