Gary was a loving son and brother who supported his parents and sisters. A brother you can easily talk to, lean on when life gets tough and would call to just simply check on how your day has been.

Yesterday you brought us happiness and gave us beautiful memories
Today bring us sorrow, for you left without saying goodbye
Tomorrow will be a reality that we won't hear your voice & you will not be here for our next adventure.
We are so blessed with your life, your kindness & for just being you!
Our hearts will be hurting, tears will come and go,
But we will not forget how you have touched our lives,
Guided us, and had been the strong wall that we have leaned on.
God has now planned your next adventure and the whole heaven celebrates your return.
May your soul rest in his kingdom.
Until we meet again....
We love you so much and you will be forever in our hearts.
