Garry had made his profession of belief in Christ and was a member of the Word of Life Church. In the last few months, he relied upon his strong faith in his Savior to see him through.
He also was a member of the Gold Prospectors Association of America, and loved to treasure hunt. In his spare time he enjoyed being outdoors where some of his favorite activities included hunting, fishing, camping, and gardening. He greatly liked Harley Davidson motorcycles and had earned the nickname of "Motorcycle Man". He possessed a kind and tender heart and children were drawn to him and absolutely adored him. He loved all of his family dearly and was very involved in his daughter's and stepson's school activities, and even in Girl Scouts.
Garry was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, and nephew, and was a caring neighbor and friend. He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
