The grave still exists, and the data are consistent with that from myheritage. If you go to the site below and enter Brekke for Etternavn, Gunnar for fornavn and 1952 for "Død år", you will find him.

If you want to get i touch with his descendants, it should be possible to contact the cemetery and ask for the names of the grave lease holder. (At least I have been able to do this in the past, although I have heard about others encountering problems.) |
