Janesville, WI

Dr. Jeffrey S Gibson, beloved husband, father, son, friend and colleague died of a basilar artery thrombosis while traveling in Rome, Italy on April 9, 2012. Dr Gibson had been in Italy presenting research on Restless Leg Syndrome at the World Sclerotherapy Conference in Florence. Jeffrey was born in Meadville, Pennsylvania to John and Amy Gibson and raised with his two brothers, Gregory and Timothy in Linesville, Pennsylvania. He attended the Pennsylvania State University (Class of 1985) where he met his wife Maureen in 1981. They were married in 1984. He attended the University Of Pittsburgh School Of Medicine (Class of 1989). His first son, John Alexander was born during medical school in 1987. He served in the US Navy from 1987-1997 where he was assigned to the USS Shreveport during the first Gulf War. He delivered his second son, Jeffrey Nicholas in 1990 just days before leaving for the war. He completed his residency in Emergency Medicine while at the Portsmouth Naval Hospital, Virginia. His first assignment as an Emergency Specialist was at the Naval Station in Jacksonville, Florida. Jeffrey left the military in 1997 to begin his career in the private sector. He worked in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for three years before moving his family out of the big city in favor of the quiet Midwestern town of Janesville, Wisconsin. Jeffrey worked in Emergency Medicine for another five years with Southern Wisconsin Emergency Associates. In 2005, Dr Gibson decided to learn a new specialty – Phlebology. He joined Vein Clinics of America where he became a board certified Phlebologist. He was very excited about the work that was being done to cure leg pain in his patients. His work in Phlebology was the highlight of his medical career. This was the third conference in which he had presented his award winning research. Jeffrey was a devoted husband and father spending much of his free time enjoying hobbies with his family or traveling. He spent many happy hours at his sons sporting events, shooting, hunting, fishing, martial arts, astronomy, magic, boating, photography, video games, and playing with his puppies. He was definitely a kid at heart with many more things he still wanted to learn. Dr. Jeffrey Gibson is survived by his wife, Maureen, his sons Alex “Gibby” and Nick, Sara Addie, his parents John and Amy Gibson, his brothers Greg and Tim (Suzette), his in-laws Izzy Martinez (JoAnn), Kathy Gilligan, Theresa Pagor (Bob), Colleen Gilligan, John Gilligan (Chrissy), nieces Katherine Pagor, Rachel Martinez, Arianne Gibson and nephews Jesse Martinez, Patrick Gilligan, Shawn Gilligan, William Trusnovic, Matthew Trusnovic and Hayden Gibson. He was preceded in death by his grandmother Constance Hannaford and his father-in-law John Gilligan.

A celebration of Jeffrey’s life will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, April 22, 2012 at Henke-Clarson Funeral Home, 1010 N. Wright Rd., Janesville, WI. In lieu of other expressions of sympathy, memorials may be made to a memorial fund being established in his name. www.henkeclarson.com.
