Gary graduated from Elgin High School in 1965 and was quite an athlete in his day. He served in the Army in Vietnam as well as the Navy from 1966-1993, primarily as an air traffic controller. He was briefly in the Ohio State Highway Patrol and at one time, he was also the owner of the Green Candle bar in LaRue.

Gary fell in love and married his wife, Sharon (Cobb) Butler, who survives. On the day of his passing, they were married for forty-seven interesting years. Gary is also survived by his son, Gary S.

Gary was also survived by his brother, John of Bowling Green, Kentucky, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and a large family of in-laws.
He was larger than life in many ways and for that, we loved him dearly and we will miss him always.
The family would like to thank the staff of Marion General Hospital, Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, and Lima Memorial Hospital for their care during the past few years.
