Our Hearts are Heavy, so sorry for your loss Melissa, Tyler and Austin. Gary was a kind man who helped us along the way as we gradually built our place just down the block. I remember asking Gary if he could help nail off our trusses to our garage as all of our friends were far too big to climb up high through the roof trusses. Gary did not hesitate to help even though it was his day off work to relax and get his own projects done and for that we were grateful. Gary will be forever missed and his family are in our thoughts and prayers. May you rest in Peace.
Katherine Berry says
I really miss Gary here at Shodair Hospital. He always had kind words, asked questions, and listened to the answers. I am so sorry that we have lost him, but I will always remember him. We have been lucky to have him in our lives.
David Blankenship says
I really miss Gary. As others had pointed out, he was first in line to give you a helping hand no matter what you had going on. We were friends and neighbors for a very long time and unfortunately we lost touch over the past couple years when I moved away. I always thought it would be great to reconnect and go skiing, hiking, camping, play cards or even just have a beer again. I never imagined that I would lose that chance. Rest In Peace my friend.
Valerie and John Hess says

I always enjoyed chatting and laughing with Gary. Not only will I miss him, but the patients and other staff at Shodair will as well.
Meg Cady says
Gary was my favorite person to see at work and I’m sunken with sadness that I won’t see him again. Working at Shodair as a nurse can be scary and stressful. Thank you, Gary for always having my back, making me smile, giving helpful parenting advice and always brightening my day!
To Gary’s wife and boys; I’m am so sorry for your loss. I bet he was just the best Dad and husband. Taken too soon but keep the good memories in your heart!
With Love, Meg
