On August 7, 2014, Brock William Gebhardt, 23, of Edelstein, Ill., passed away at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria, IL. His parents, Dr. Ron and Peggy Bush have helped 1000's of children and families in Haiti over the past 10 years by providing medical care and education. All of his life, Brock had a passion for learning. We wish to carry on Brock's passion for knowledge and learning by building a learning center in Cyvadier, Haiti.
The learning center will empower children in Haiti to learn, helping them overcome the obstacles of an impoverished life. Carry on Brock's love of learning, leadership, and compassion by making a memorial contribution to Life's Path, changing one life at a time.

Honoring Brock's passion for learning and changing a child's life...
Brock graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Champaign in 2013, double majoring in economics and political science. He was elected and served as student body president his senior year. He was a founding member of the U of I Chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa. He was also a member of the Association of Big Ten Students and the U of I Urbana-Champaign Illinois Board of Higher Education.
An aviation enthusiast, he enjoyed flying a four-passenger aircraft, receiving his pilot’s license at age 17. Conservative politics was another passion, having worked in the Republican House in Springfield, Ill., after graduation from college. Working hard on several Illinois campaigns, he was a key member for the election of Ryan Spain to the Peoria City Council. Most recently, he served as store manager for Central Pool Supply in Peoria and a marketing consultant for Vein Experts.org.
Brock leaves his earthly life in the spirit of giving as an organ donor for the Gift of Hope.
