    To say Gage was an avid outdoorsman is an understatement. Gage loved to hunt and fish, most particularly duck hunting and stream fishing. He loved to share his passion for the outdoors with other people, especially when it came to mentoring the youth. His heart matched his size.
   Gage is survived by his parents Rodney and Carol of Gaylord, his brother Joseph (Lorena), sisters Rachael (Benjamin), Abbigail, and Samantha, grandmothers Julia Ramos and Nancy Rajala. He is also survived by his niece Hadley Rajala and his nephews Carter Rajala, and Lane Rajala. He also leaves behind numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Gage was preceded in death by his grandfathers Ronald Rajala and Phillip Ramos.
