Born in Sweden, Gibson immigrated to the United States and joined the Army from Chicago, Illinois in February 1941.〔(WWII Army Enlistment Records )〕 By January 28, 1944, he was a technician fifth grade serving as a cook in the 30th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division. On that day, in Cisterna di Latina area near Isolabella, Italy, he was placed in command of a squad during an advance down a streambed. Gibson led his men from the front, repeatedly advancing ahead of the squad and three times attacking German positions alone. He was killed while charging a fourth German position. For these actions, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor eight months later, on September 11, 1944.
Gibson, aged 24 at his death, was buried in Nora Cemetery, Rice Lake, Wisconsin. His parents had moved to Rice Lake while Gibson was serving in Europe.
