Gary was born in Auburn, Washington on Jan. 25, 1965. He lived in Kent on East Hill until he went to college at Wenatchee Valley College. After college, Gary spent time living in Hawaii with his sister Connie and her family where he worked as a windsurf instructor and enjoyed all that island life had to offer. Gary's professional life took him through several changes, always positive and always learning something new. He spent time in construction and sales, eventually choosing to blend those experiences together and went to work for MSI, a contractors HVAC distributor as General Manager of the San Marcos, California location. Most recently, Gary had moved to Lake Havasu City, and was to begin managing the Havasu Landing Hardware store. Gary enjoyed sports his entire life. From the age of 10 when he started playing Pee Wee football, he went on to play in any sport available, soccer, baseball, basketball, and football. That passion for playing sports stayed with him all through his school years. In his adult years, Gary transitioned from player to being a devoted football fan, a golfer and fisherman. Gary loved it all. Although Gary lived in a few different places in his life, he grew up in Kent and remained a local Kent boy. A memorial service will be held to celebrate his life at St. James Episcopal Church in Kent, Washington on Saturday, May 21 at 1 p.m. A reception will follow at Meridian Valley Country Club. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be sent to a Cancer foundation of your choice. |
