Gale Ivan Jugovich II, of Portland, passed away on Tuesday, February 20, 2024 at the age of 42. He was born on January 27, 1982 in Lansing, Michigan.


Gale brought an abundance of warmth and joy to all who knew him. He was known for his kindness and generosity, traits that illuminated in his beautiful soul and resonated in his remarkable laugh.

His bravery, resilience, and dedication to his country reflected his admirable character and unwavering sense of duty. Although Gale has departed from this earthly realm, his spirit will forever live on in the hearts of those who were privileged to know him.
