Obituary

"Death Leaves a Heartache No One Can Heal, Love Leaves a Memory, No One Can Steal."

Gary Strohm was born on April 24, 1957 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and passed away peacefully in his sleep on January 25, 2016 at the age of 58 in Irvine, California. He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Kimmerly Winfree Strohm and his three children, Alexander, Eric and Kelly Strohm all of Irvine, California; as well as his father John William Strohm of Farmington, Pennsylvania and his brother James Randall Strohm of Brooklyn, New York. He was pre-deceased by his mother, Shirley Jean Hathaway of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Gary loved the great outdoors, especially hiking, skiing and mountain biking. He was a treasured friend to many. He was a wonderful listener with an equally wonderful sense of humor. Not only was he fun, but he was really smart. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University and University of Pittsburgh with degrees in Computer Science, he was a pioneer in the field, and he successfully built his own web-based business and contributed greatly to corporate IT operations and software companies over his 30 year career.

Gary loved his family and friends deeply and genuinely and will be sorely missed.

Per Gary's wishes, his ashes will be scattered in places he loved, hopefully we'll make it to Mount Whitney, Mammoth and Bilbao, Spain.

Everyone is invited to his Celebration of Life on February 14, 2016. For further information, please see below.
