How Did Mike Gau Die?

Mike Gau died on August 30, 2023, after being hit by a dump truck while working in a construction zone near the intersection of Rockford Road and Nathan Lane North in Plymouth.

Paramedics pronounced him dead at the site. The dump truck driver cooperated with the police inquiry, and no charges were brought.

A Devastating Loss for the Community

Around 12:30 p.m., Mike Gau was working as a flagger at the intersection of Rockford Road and Nathan Lane North when he was hit by the truck. He was declared dead at the site.

Gau had been a volunteer firefighter for 23 years, and he was well-liked and respected by his coworkers and the community.

Belle Plaine Fire Department Relief Association shared a Facebook post to tribute to Mike Gau-

Yestesday we lost one of our brothers. A 23 year veteran of our department Mike Gau was tragically killed in a work accident yesterday. Our friends at Henderson Fire said it best “Mike could usually be located by following the laughs on a fire ground. He will be greatly missed.” We, along with other departments, will be coming through Jordan this afternoon after 4pm along 169 bringing Mike back to Belle Plaine. Rest easy Mike, we’ll take it from here.

A Joyful Presence and a Devoted Volunteer

He was a diligent volunteer who attended to hundreds of calls ranging from fires to medical emergencies to vehicle accidents throughout the years. He was also involved in community events and fire prevention education.

Mike Gau was well-known for his upbeat nature and sense of humor. He could always make his coworkers and those he assisted laugh and grin. Henderson Fire & Rescue described him as someone who “could usually be located by following the laughs on a fire ground.” He was also a devoted spouse, father, grandfather, brother, and friend to a large number of people.
