His innovative thinking and drive laid the foundation for what has become a thriving organization. It has been an honor to witness this journey and support the incredible legacy that Gordon has created. I am grateful for his leadership and am confident that the executive team is deeply committed to continuing the tradition of innovation, excellence, and vision that has characterized CorVel under Gordon 's guidance.”

These principles have formed the foundation of our success, and his legacy will continue to inspire and guide the organization as we move forward.”
Combs continued, “Gordon established an organizational structure that enabled advancement throughout the Company. He set the strategic direction, acquired companies, and formed partnerships to expand our capabilities while providing guidance. His influence leaves an indelible impact on our organization, and we deeply appreciate his passion, foresight, and belief in CorVel 's potential.”
