Remembering Gordon Corsetti

Remembering Gordon Corsetti

For many of us at AYLC the name Corsetti rings a bell. Lou Corsetti might come to mind first, being instrumental in bringing the game to Georgia and serving as the Regional Director for the Southeast with USA Lacrosse. Of importance today is another name; that of Gordon Corsetti.

On Friday, Dec. 2, Gordon Corsetti lost his life to suicide at the age of 34. As an accomplished member of our lacrosse community, “There are not enough words to describe what Gordon has meant to this association, this game…” as aptly stated by the Georgia Lacrosse Officials Association. Gordon Corsetti played lacrosse for 10 years before trading his stick for stripes and serving as an official at the youth, high school, and collegiate levels, and helping to build an e-learning platform for officials.

Donations the Gordon Corsetti Mental Agility Fund may be made to honor and remember Gordon Corsetti. Proceeds go toward suicide prevention and mental illness research.
