We are so saddened to hear of the loss of your son Gary. Losing a family member is difficult, but losing a child is hard to imagine. Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. Love, Russ and Sandra

Love and prayers for your whole family.

So very sorry for your loss, love and prayers for your family.

Heaven has gained a precious angel, one that loves Jesus and had a wonderful relationship with our Heavenly Father. Gary loved his classic rock, Big Bang Theory, watching westerns and a peaceful rainy day! Gary enjoyed driving the church bus for Cascade Hills and cutting up with all the passengers. You were willing to serve in any way they needed you. You enjoyed Kathryn Bryant’s Sunday school class which was an introductory class to Cascade but you stayed in it because you enjoyed her teaching so much. You loved your family with all your heart and spoke many kind words of all of them. I’m praying for all of the family and may God comfort you! Love Beth❤️

Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved and so missed. So sorry for your loss. Much love,Lara Dobelstien Wehrli & Vian Reda Woods

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Gary was a great guy, I remember when I was young he taught me how to shoot a bow and use nunchucks! What a memory! Rest In Peace Gary, you will be missed.

Shannon, you and your family are in my prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers to your family. ♥️🙏♥️

He was one of the sweetest people I am blessed to call a friend. I first met Gary when I became a new student at Smith Station High School in 1985. He immediately welcomed me. This world has lost a great guy but God gained an angel. RIP you will never be forgotten.

Gary, You will be missed. One of the kindest and gentlest souls I have ever know and best prom date ever! Rest now high on that mountain ❤

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
