Gary lived a an incredibly full, impactful, and meaningful life - even though for us it feels that it was cut too short. Gary truly exemplified what it meant to "love thy neighbor" as he served, cared, and befriended everyone who came across his path. Gary deeply loved his family and church, serving them both faithfully day after day. Other passions that marked Gary's life include: cheering for the Green Bay Packers (at home and Lambeau field), spending hours in God's beautiful creation fishing and hunting, playing hours of Euchre with friends and family, and as a Elvis Presley superfan you could always count on him finding an Elvis song on the radio or even watching Elvis movies at home. Its hard to put into words just how special Gary was, the world has lost an incredible man.

Gary's family will receive friends from 5-7:00pm Monday, February 5, 2024 at Deiters Funeral Home and Crematory in Washington.

His funeral service will be held at 1:00pm Tuesday, February 6, 2024 at Crossroads Global Methodist Church.
