Gus made the truth his own in 1973 and was Baptized. He was a baptized Witness of Jehovah since then for 41 years. One of His most memorable periods was spending time with his family and friends camping, fishing at the river or at the coast and hunting. Gus loved the outdoors either working outside or enjoying his love of nature in the Hill Country. His love for the outdoors and nature will be missed by all those who love and cherish him.

His laughter and love of outdoors was an inspiration to his family and friends who enjoyed his company and companionship.

And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.
