ABOUT GASPARD

DEDICATED TO ENHANCING THE LIVES OF OTHERS

As the youngest of four siblings, Gaspard enjoyed the loving attention of his parents. He was always very outspoken for someone so young and often would share his "wisdom" with others which was usually amusing but sometimes spot on.

As Gaspard grew, he was often times restricted by his health. He could not play outside as long as the other kids due to asthma. He could not always get a good night rest due to breathing issues. He had several surgeries due to his tendency to develop polyps in his sinuses. Despite his health, he was never bitter or angry; he always had a smile on his face and you could never tell when he was down.

Perhaps because of his health struggles, Gaspard developed an urgent zest for life!

At Carnage GT/AIG Middle School he studied violin and continued his studies at Millbrook High school where he became so proficient that he earned a chair in the school orchestra.

After high school, Gaspard decided to delay college and go to work for Panera Bread and eventually Flow MINI of Raleigh where he found his passion for cars while working as Inventory Manager.

Gaspard was both assertive and stubborn in the goals that he set out for his life. He had a vision and plan to become a General Manager of an automobile dealership by age 30 and retire by age 50 to manage his real estate portfolio. 

He was a member of the Tarheel Mini Motoring Club where he enjoyed motoring with "Echo", his MINI Cooper, all around the state and creating lasting impressions on everyone he met. 

Gaspard also served at his local church, and at God's Helpers of Raleigh; a local ministry with a mission to minimize hunger and homelessness.
