Gail passed away surrounded by his loving wife Kathy, sons Kristopher (Amy), Jeffrey (Brandi) and 12 grandchildren. He grew up with older sisters Linda and Brenda and older brother Michael. As a young boy Gail's mom and dad instilled in him a love for baseball and fishing. As a young man he added wrestling, hunting, and bowling to his list of talents. After graduating from Blackfoot High School in 1973, he was married for a short time and had 3 children from that relationship. Gail always said his life truly began in 1982 when he met the love of his life Katherine "Kathy" Robinson. They were married on August 14, 1982, and became the proud parents of Kristopher and Tomas "Jeffrey" Conn. Gail moved his family to Pocatello in 1987 while he earned his Associates degree in accounting. He sold Real Estate for five years but found his true passion and talent as a flooring expert. He loved to talk and sell carpet at Home Depot; providing the best customer service possible was very important to him. As his boys grew, Gail's favorite hobby was watching them excel at sports and being a "very vocal" spectator; he was their biggest fan. As each and every grandchild came into his life he found joy in attending their many activities and cheering them on as well. Gail met every challenge in his life head on and taught his sons to face any challenge head on. He was a great man and gave so much to his family, he will truly be missed and forever loved. Survivors beside Katherine included: sons Kristopher (Amy) Conn and Jeffrey (Brandi) Conn, all of Pocatello; siblings Brenda and Michael; and 12 wonderful grandchildren. Celebration of life held Sunday, September 12th at Upper Ross Park in Pocatello, with family under care of Hawker Funeral Home.
