Tributes To Gary Leif

Across social media users’ timelines are statements that show respect, admiration, and gratitude towards Leif as people mourn the passing.

So sad to hear of the passing of Rep. Gary Leif who served Oregonians in the Douglas County area. Gary was a hard worker in the Legislature and worked to find solutions to problems facing our state. He brought a county commissioner and local government lens to statewide issues and really fought hard for issues that mattered to his constituents, especially on committees that focused on helping our most vulnerable citizens. Even when he didn’t feel well, he showed up during this past session and focused on his community until the end. My heart is with the Leif family today and with his friends and constituents that have lost a respected leader.
Today, my dear friend and colleague Representative Gary Leif passed away. He was the epitome of what a good representative should be: committed, collaborative, and determined. He showed up every day ready to work and I will miss his presence dearly. Many prayers to his wife Carol and their family.
