A lifetime athlete, Gibson spent time training and participating in triathlons and running races to balance his life and to stay healthy.  On December 29th, while on a training run in Phoenix, Joe was hit by a car. He sustained massive head injury and brain death. Even after his death, Gibson continued to give back to his community by donating organs.
