Award-Winning Chef Suddenly Dies at 48 – Emotional Tributes Show How Well-Respected He Was

From westernjournal.com

An award-winning chef is being mourned by Scotland’s culinary community after his unexpected death at 48.

Gary Goldie’s family emphasized that he died suddenly in a statement provided to Scotland’s Daily Record on Sunday.

“Gary has died very suddenly at the age of 48, survived by his loving family, children Jodi, Gaz, Isabelle, and granddaughters Mya and Cecilia,” the family said.

No cause of death was given.

“Gary was incredibly talented,” the family said. “His love and passion for foraging, married well with his amazing, natural talent for cooking.”

“His achievements were many and his reputation and knowledge crossed the culinary world.

“At this sad time, kind comments from chefs all over Scotland clearly show how respected he was. Some claim that Gary was instrumental in sparking the wild food scene in Scotland.

“Above all he was a family man and there are few words to describe the grief that his colleagues, friends and family are feeling.”

Chefs and hoteliers such as Paolo Balbinot and Gary McLean-Quin mourned Goldie in statements of their own, describing him as a unique culinary talent, according to the Daily Record.

Goldie was named Scottish Hotel Chef of the Year when he worked at the Ardanaiseig hotel, according to The Scottish Sun.

The hotel released a statement memorializing the chef and expressing condolences to his family.

“Gary was very passionate about cooking; that’s clear to anyone who met him and his love of foraging kept the menus interesting and vibrant,” it said. “The loss of his talent and knowledge will be felt across hospitality.”

“Gary’s biggest passion was, of course, his family who we all hold dear in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.”

A GoFundMe fundraiser has raised nearly $5,600 as of early Wednesday to offset costs for Goldie’s family following his sudden death.

Goldie was a pioneer in foraging for wild ingredients in food, according to The Herald of Scotland.
The outlet reported he was also involved in the country’s music scene as part of hip-hop group The Jakeybytez.

“It’s took us all a few days to process the sad news that our friend and brother Gary Goldie has passed away,” the band said, according to The Herald. “We shared some amazing times in the studio, chilling together and doing gigs across the land!

“He had such a passionate personality that was infectious to anyone he spent time with and many a time we watched in awe as he just freestyle a verse in one take or whipped us up delicious food with ingredients none of us knew existed!

“He opened his door to us many a time and since we all first met all those years ago has considered us as brothers just like we did him.

“We send our love and power to Garys Friends and Family at this hard time and want to assure them our door is always open for a chat and support!” Source

So terribly sad. Once again, file this under DIED SUDDENLY.

Woman with No History of Heart Issues Dies Suddenly of Cardiac Arrest, Friend Calls on Community for Help

From westernjournal.com

A Las Vegas woman has started a fundraising campaign for the family of a friend who died suddenly Jan. 8.

Michele Morgan told KLAS-TV that her friend, Alicia Groeblinghoff, went into cardiac arrest while working out at a gym.

Groeblinghoff, died the next day. She was 46, according to her obituary.

Morgan told KLAS her friend had no history of heart problems before she “suddenly, without warning, collapsed at the gym and suffered a massive cardiac arrest.”

Morgan has set up a GoFundMe to raise funds to help pay Groeblinghoff’s medical bills, which she said “are going to be astronomical” because she had to be transported to the hospital and placed on life support.

The bills are going to be “more than the family can handle,” she wrote.

Groeblinghoff had two children, 15 and 9, and the financial assistance will also help with their college, Morgan said.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the fundraiser had taken in about $38,000 toward its goal of $250,000.

Morgan described Groeblinghoff as “my friend and business partner for 30 years.”

“She was such an amazing soul, with a contagious smile, and kindness that we do not see every day,” she wrote on GoFundMe. “Everyone who was fortunate enough to have their path come in contact with Alicia’s, immediately loved her.”

KLAS reported that Groeblinghoff was one of several seemingly healthy people who have died suddenly of apparent heart issues in recent weeks.

During the week before her death, two Las Vegas-area teens also died suddenly.

Jordan Brister was pronounced dead after collapsing in a school restroom Jan. 3.

A GoFundMe appeal created Jan. 7 said, “Jordan Tyler Brister suddenly and unexpectedly suffered cardiac arrest while at school with no explanation as to why. Jordan was a senior in high school who planned to join the military after graduating.”

Another Las Vegas teen, 16-year-old Ashari Hughes, died suddenly Jan. 5 after suffering a “medical emergency” while playing in a flag football game.

The Clark County Coroner later ruled Hughes’ death was due to a congenital heart defect related to an “anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from left coronary sinus of Valsalva,” KLAS reported.

The news station interviewed a local cardiologist who advised people, “no matter your age or health,” to get checked for congenital defects, coronary artery disease, electrical problems or “issues related to COVID-19.” Source

Well-Known Sportscaster: In 20 Years I’ve Never Seen This Many Stories About Young Athletes Dying

From westernjournal.com

Reports of young, healthy athletes dying continue to pile up.

For example, on Jan. 9, 21-year-old Air Force Academy offensive lineman Hunter Brown suddenly collapsed and died on his way from class to his dorm.

Perhaps cases like this have always happened but, for one reason or another, are only being reported on now.

That being said, according to one veteran sportscaster, the prevalence of these mysterious death stories is unlike anything he’s ever seen before.

“In the world of sports, we need deep-dive investigations into whether the COVID shot is leading to more deaths of young, otherwise healthy people,” OutKick founder and sports writer Clay Travis said.

While admitting the stories are anecdotal, Travis cited the tragic cases of Brown and Damar Hamlin before making his point.

“Now, I have been writing and talking about sports for 20 years, nearly,” Travis said. “I don’t remember stories like this happening.”

“I don’t remember stories about athletes walking on college campuses and suddenly dropping … But the number of high school, college, even pro-athletes who are suddenly just dropping all around the world seems to be a fairly substantial trend.”

Maybe nothing unusual is happening. As Travis said, these are merely anecdotes. Or maybe, just maybe, we shouldn’t have forced young people to get the vaccine.

Especially considering, according to the CDC, more children ages 0 to 17 have died with pneumonia than COVID since 2020.

For adults ages 18-29, the number of deaths involving COVID (6,764) versus pneumonia (6,182) is comparable.

Males in these age groups have an increased chance of suffering heart complications after receiving a COVID vaccine shot, albeit the numbers currently indicate such cases are extremely rare, per the CDC.

But given how rare COVID complications are for this age group, presumably particularly so for healthy athletes in peak condition, perhaps this risk, however low it may be, was completely unnecessary.

Travis didn’t hold any punches as he began calling out sports media personalities for refusing to look into this disturbing new trend.

“I’m really disappointed by the number of people in sports media who ran like crazy with the idea that if we played sports during COVID athletes would die … Why are they not asking more questions now that we are seeing so many otherwise young and healthy athletes dropping?” Travis asked.

Again, we still don’t know if these cases add up to anything. It’ll likely be a long time before we have any answers.

That being said, Travis made a good point.

Even before COVID, stories about young, healthy college and even high school athletes dying were rare enough to be big news.

This seems unlike anything the sports world has ever seen. Source

THIS is what needs to happen. If many people begin to ask these questions, maybe….just maybe the bad guys will be exposed. The only problem is that these Deep State/Globalists/ UN/ NIH (Fauci) Gates etc etc……are either threatening people or paying them off. This man is courageous. He knows that he is putting his life on the line.

Pray for him!

18-Year-Old Athlete Dies Unexpectedly in His Sleep – Over 500 People Step Up in Big Way

From westernjournalism.com

An 18-year-old Canadian athlete who came to an American college to follow his dream of playing baseball died at the age of 18.

Theo Gibbs, died in his sleep on Dec. 20 while he was at his family’s home in Regina, Saskatchewan, according to the Western Standard.

Gibbs played with the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League’s Regina White Sox, the Martin Sports Academy and the Regina Red Sox Academy before making the leap to Lassen Community College in Susanville, California.

Martin Sports Academy learning leader Rob Cherepuschak said Gibbs was an outstanding athlete and individual, according to the Regina Leader-Post.

“It’s a great story of a young man who had aspired to extend his athletic and education career and he achieved that. We’re certainly proud that he was able to experience some of that,” he said.

“In the dugout, I referred to him as a ‘top-step guy,’” Cherepuschak said. “He would meet students or teammates at the top step, whether it was to celebrate success or help them through a hardship. His ability to make those around him better and to create a great team in a large group environment was what made him so special.”

The college released a statement about the teen’s death, according to the Leader-Post, which noted he had injured his shoulder in the fall.

“Our baseball program is heartbroken by the passing of Theo Gibbs. We send our prayers and wish his family comfort, peace, and strength as they mourn the loss of their oldest son. Although our time was brief, Theo’s smile and energy was infectious,” baseball coach Frank Avilla said.

Gibbs, who leaves behind his parents and two siblings, also played hockey for the Regina Shamrocks and Regina Cougars.

Family friend Chantel Kaufmann set up a GoFundMe page that raised $49,009 from 555 donors.

“I’m not up on my social media-type things, but my kids told me it was the Number 1-trending GoFundMe in all of North America or something like that,” Kaufmann said, according to the Leader-Post.

“Theo Gibbs and his family have been valued members of many Regina communities including baseball, hockey, teaching, and music. The unbelievable pain of losing this young man with an amazing future ahead of him breaks all of our hearts,” she wrote on the page.

In an update, she said that although the fund was set up to cover funeral costs, the teen’s parents “will use the money as they see fit. Easing financial burden in the days ahead and allowing them time and space to grieve as a family was our way of acknowledging this very sad time and showing them our love and support.”

Dana Gibbs, the mother of Theo Gibbs, said the family was “forever grateful for the love and support shown to us in this time of unbelievable sadness” according to the Western Standard.

“Thank you to everyone who has reached out to us. Words will never be enough. Your love is holding us up. Whenever you think of Theo in the coming hours and days, please pass on an act of kindness and send your love up to him.”

Kaufman told the Western Standard that the number of donations “really shows you the love that people have for his family. It’s a great family that is well respected and works really hard and would do this at the drop of the hat for anyone else. They know that they have helped out in so many ways when people have gone through hard times.” Source

Is the world watching? Some of us are. But my daughter didn’t even know that many young people are dying suddenly.

I guess they don’t report on this on CNN.
