Brian Scott Gamroth 1965 - 2016

The loss of Brian Scott Gamroth is indescribable to us at the API, our city and state. It was no secret that he loved our community and the state of Wyoming. He walked the walk and invested countless (and we mean countless) hours back to its citizens. We would often joke about scheduling him years in advance, but he always made time for us. Brian was present, he was passionate and gave 150% to our cause. He made all of us at the API feel special and that our event was valued and one of a kind. No doubt that he touched individuals, businesses, charities and causes the same way he did us at the API. His handshake and hugs were as powerful as his voice.
