I am so happy that I found this page. Michael was a father figure and a wonderful inspiration in architecture. I was an intern in KEO in Kuwait 1992, he was head of Design at the time. It was Ramadan at the time, I remember he gave me chocolates… it was a sweet gesture, he took life lightly and always brought sunshine to all of those around him. May his soul rest in peace. Jawaher

Condolences to Jane and all the family of my dearest friend Michael Gebhart.
We worked together in Kuwait and spent a lot of time after work helping each other. Always keeping in touch from USA to Kuwait.
A wonderful man. Don't have words to describe him. Will miss you.
Rest in Peace my dear friend.

RIP Geb

I was shocked to learn of Michael's death. He was a person filled with humor, energy, good spirit, moral outrage, and, of course, talent. It is sad to realize that he is no longer here to keep us all on the right track.

Michael is legendary as a driving force in the late twentieth century's Harvard Square architectural community. During at least some of his years at The Architect's Collaborative, Harvard Square arguably was the world's most important architectural community. Within that community, Michael was very well known, loved and greatly respected.
Like others from Minnesota who ended up in Cambridge, Michael was an "art star". With seeming ease he was able to quickly express good design ideas with expressive sketches.
I feel fortunate to have known Michael and send my love to his family.

My Condolences to Gebhart family:
Losing a loved one is never easy and my heart goes out to you. The pain is so real but the God of comfort helped me through that terrible pain when our daughter died and now when my precious husband of 50 years fell asleep in death due to pancreatic cancer. God doesn’t leave us without hope. Notice these few Scriptures of comfort: Revelation 21:4 (no more sadness or death) Isaiah 33:24 (no more sickness) John 5:28, 29 (the Resurrection) Psalms 37:11 (where we will see our loved one) Psalms 37:29 (for how long).
When you feel up to reading these few Scriptures, may they be comforting to you as well.

Please accept my condolences for the loss of your loved one. We can find comfort from god the god of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3,4).

Jon,

Words can not express how sorry we are for your loss. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Best,
Cathy & Dave
