Roaming to Freedom
Laszlo Janos Gere (ACAS, 2002)
1974–2023
Laszlo Janos Gere, age 48, passed away Tuesday, May 2, 2023, in Marion, Virginia. Laszlo was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1974. Both his parents were biologists, each prominent in their respective fields. Laszlo is the fourth of five sons. He moved to the U.S. in 1984, graduated from South Dakota State University with a degree in political science, and then worked as an actuary at Travelers, KPMG and Everest Re. He was an avid runner, biker and outdoorsman who loved adventure and a good debate with his coworkers. In 2020, he quit his job to pursue a lifelong dream to travel the world with nothing but his bicycle. He started a blog roamingtofreedom.org, where he chronicled his adventures. He is survived by his brothers, nieces and nephews in Hungary and many who considered him family in the U.S.
