Gary’s Story

Site created on November 21, 2019

While Gary's story in much longer than the words here on this page, we wanted to let you know what is going on with Gary's health. Gary was diagnosed with cancer in September 2017 and has endured radiation, chemotherapy and suffered much pain in the process. During his treatment,  it was also found that his heart was functioning well below a healthy rate and he was issued a defibrillator vest to keep him alive should the heart decide to stop. There was hope Gary would defeat the cancer and regain a healthy heart but sadly, his health has declined rather quickly. Gary is in the final stages of his battle with cancer. He has now entered hospice care and it unable to interact with his loved ones. We wanted to let you know what is going on so you can keep his family in prayer during this time. We will update this page with any new information.
