It is with heavy hearts that our family announces the passing of our beloved father, Iva Gist—known and loved by everyone throughout Highbridge simply as "Powerful."
Powerful was a staple in our community, someone who touched so many lives with his presence, his heart, and his unbreakable spirit. On August 7th, he left us, leaving behind a legacy that will forever live on through his family, his friends, and the neighborhood he called home.
As we prepare to lay him to rest with the honor and respect he deserves, we are reaching out to our community, friends, and family for support during this difficult time. All funds raised will go directly toward his funeral and burial expenses.
Whether you are able to donate, share this link, or simply keep our family in your prayers and hold onto your memories of Powerful, we appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you for your love, your strength, and your support as we celebrate the life of a true Highbridge legend.
