Gerald Ness Matthew Gabay
October 6, 1944 ~ March 14, 2020
Gerald Ness Matthew Gabay (known as Jerry
Gabay) was born October 6, 1944 in Phoenix, Ariz. He
died March 14, 2020 when visiting friends and a
nephew there. Despite being diagnosed with cancer
five years ago he maintained a high quality of life.
Jerry attained an undergraduate degree from Stan-
ford University. After graduation he served during the
Viet Nam War as an officer in the US Coast Guard.
Following his military service, he attained a law de-
gree through the University of Oregon. His first
major law position was as a public defender in Baker
City, Ore. He later moved to The Dalles where he
served as a public defense lawyer before entering the
Peace Corps in 1984. There he taught French and his-
tory and coached basketball in Malawi, Africa for two
years. Upon returning to the US and obtaining a
teaching certificate, he began his teaching career as a
middle school teacher at WyEast Middle School in
Odell. In 1989 he began a family, marrying Susan
Blake Kofahl, and welcoming the birth of his greatest
joy and his only child, Susanna. He considered being
a father his most important job but he had a quite a
diverse employment history following her birth: sea-
sonal national park ranger at Mt Rainier, Ore., State
and US Forestry positions, founding director of the
first AmeriCorps project in Trout Lake, Wash., and di-
rector of Nuestra Comunidad Sana in the Gorge. Pas-
sionate social justice advocates, Jerry and daughter
Susanna spent 6 months volunteering at a social and
health clinic outside Antigua, Guatemala 2002-2003.
Jerry later acquired an ESL teaching certificate,
working for The Dalles School District #12 until his
retirement in 2008. Continuing his love of travel, he
subsequently taught English in Slovakia, Ecuador,
and more recently a brief time in Spain. His greatest
tragedy was losing his daughter to suicide in 2010 fol-
lowing her 5-year struggle with mental illness. Thus
began Jerry’s fierce advocacy for people, especially
youth, with mental illness. Collaborating with vari-
ous organizations and his local legislator in Portland,
Alissa Keny-Guyer, he promoted suicide prevention
and assisted in successfully passing beneficial legisla-
tion to protect against overly legalistic readings of
HIPPA guidelines in favor of supportive communica-
tion between families and mental health providers.
Jerry is survived by his wife, Susan, in Mosier and
several nieces and nephews throughout the West. He
developed many friendships in the Gorge, Portland,
and all over the world. There is much more to be said
about Jerry and a community memorial service will
be planned later in the year when feasible for his fam-
ily members, friends, and our community.
Kaye Christine Prouty
December 31, 1946 ~ March 13, 2020
Kaye Christine Whipple
was born on December 31,
1946, in Portland, Ore., to
Geraldine and Thomas L.
Whipple. She passed away
on March 13, 2020, at the
age of 73, surrounded by
her family.
She was preceded in
death by her father when
she was only 4 years old,
and eventually her moth-
er remarried Harold Eng-
berg, whom she loved and
called “dad.”
Kaye grew up an only
child in Wasco, Ore., and
graduated from Sherman
High School in 1964. She
received her associate de-
gree from Eastern Oregon
State College, and mar-
ried Joseph Burgett in
1967. They raised a family,
including Steven, Marcy
and Jodie in Arlington,
Ore., and then Dufur, Ore.,
for many years.
Her children have been
blessed with so many
amazing memories of
time spent with grandpar-
ents, family vacations, in
the motorhome, holiday
traditions, and dinner-
time around the table.
Kaye spent many years
watching her kids’ sport-
ing events and supporting
their many activities,
while working at Oregon
Bank, and then, Mid-Co-
lumbia Vision Center,
where she was the office
manager, for over 20
years. She truly enjoyed
spending time with her
friends and family, play-
ing pinochle with her
club, shopping with her
girls, and sipping Coors
Light and sharing conver-
sations.
In 1996 she married
Harvey Prouty and
they’ve resided in The
Dalles for over 25 years.
They enjoyed going to
Palm Desert for the win-
ters, gardening, traveling,

Kaye spent the last two
years battling cancer and
handled it like a “champ.”
Her fun, positive attitude

shined through, like her
beautiful smile. When
asked by her kids how she
wanted to spend her final
weeks, she requested “lots
of parties.” And that is
exactly what we did!
