 ·  2 min read

Gary Bouma Death – Obituary: Vale Prof Gary Bouma. We have lost one of the bright lights of Australian Sociology. He was a star of his generation of scholars and was still doing publicly engaged Sociology to the end. Thinking of his family, friends, colleagues, and collaborators.

On August 23rd, 2021, InsideEko Media learned about the death of Gary Bouma through social media publications made on Twitter.

InsideEko is yet to confirm Gary Bouma’s cause of death as no health issues, accident or other causes of death have been learned to be associated with the passing.

This death has caused a lot of friends and family of Bouma much hurt. In that mourning spirit, concerned persons have taken to social media to share tributes to the deceased and condolences to the affected family

Dr Rachel Woodlock
My dear former supervisor, mentor and friend, Prof. Gary Bouma, has passed away. He was a wonderful sociologist and educator but more than that he was a truly kind and caring soul. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. Vale.
David Tittensor
Saddened to hear of the passing of Emer. Prof. Gary Bouma. I was fortunate to be taught by him as an undergraduate and to have the benefit of his wisdom and guidance during the course of my PhD. May he rest in peace. Vale.
David Schütz
I’m sorry hear that Emer. Prof. Gary Bouma passed away last Thursday. My condolences to Patricia & their family. We worked together on many interfaith projects over the past couple of decades. His sociological contributions were invaluable. May he be at peace in the rest of God.
Monash Sociology
Monash Sociology is deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Emeritus Professor Gary Bouma: an esteemed sociologist of religion, a prolific HDR supervisor, a respected colleague, and a beloved friend.
One of his greatest contributions was highlighting the importance of diverse, connected communities to Australian society. As the keynote speaker at a 2004 graduation ceremony, he told the graduating students:
“You have learned to respect human diversity, and to value difference as the sources of creativity and human good.”
Gary was a proponent of this in every aspect of his work and his life, and was an active member of the Monash Sociology department for 42 years until his passing. He will be very dearly missed.
