He is also survived by his mom, Barbara Donley; dad, George Gebers Jr. ; brother, George (April) Gebers; sister, Elizabeth (Steve) Brown; step-brother, Joseph Donley; special brother, Jason Brown; special people, Dione Burdue, Iona Burdue,and Mark Bollenbacher; nieces and nephews, Taylor, Nicole, Jason, Bryce, Ethan, Tristan, Toria, Sara; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

JJ was employed at Lee Groll Tree Service, and he also had his own woodcutting business. He was the invincible one among us, the one who had looked death in the face and laughed so many times. He always refused to say no to any challenge. He was the one we all worried about, but no one believed he would actually ever die. JJ lived life to the fullest. He would never hesitate to pick up and drive to Florida or New York with no notice. JJ was the one so many called who needed a hand or a pull out of a ditch. He left an impression everywhere he went. He was kind and would help anyone. JJ loved his family and friends with his whole heart. JJ passed in his sleep from natural causes.
