Such a wonderful and heartfelt tribute to a Man I did not have the pleasure of knowing even though he has made such an impact on many and has become inspiration to me. Thanks Steve for telling his story and carrying on his legacy. Frank Tocci

Gary was a hero to me as he chose the path less taken, a professional musician, who studied with some of the finest at U. Miami Frost School of Music (e.g. Vince Lawrence) but kept his heart for the Lord and used his talent for His highest. Bravo.

The Hoover family loves you, Signe, and pray you feel God's love and support during this very difficult time of grief.

Gary,

I will forever be grateful for your outreach that brought me hope during a time when I felt lost, and will cherish all the times we've spent, hearing your creative ideas, amazing stories, and quiet reflections (in words or music).

Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts and filling so many hearts with love.

God bless you!

Your lives have blessed so many in health and in sickness. Amazing to hear your testimonies. Praying for you both!

Thank you Gary for sharing your talent through piano. You remind me so much of my mom who was a concert pianist, God bless you richly in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Continued prayers for Gary and his family🙏🏻🙏🏻

Gary, you were at my late husband’s side as Rick passed from this life to heaven, experiencing the peace that his hospice brought him. Thank you, Gary, for using your gifted piano playing the for Rick during his final two weeks of life. I’ll always be grateful for your beautiful heart and your friendship to Rick. How I wish I could play those beautiful cords of yours for you now, as you lean into your life in heaven.

You are loved by all of us Hoovers, including our adult children and theirs.
Thank you for your ministry of music throughout your life and to our lives. You played a huge part in the greater Seattle’s worship experience, bringing all of us closer to God. Peace and love, my friend.

Gary,

You have been such an inspiration to me over the years.

God loves you!

The impact that you have had on so many souls over so many years can only be described as faithful, loving and holy!

I hope and pray that in some small way I can have an impact on Gods Kingdom that honors you and God, thank you for your example of Gods love!

May God provide you comfort and companionship throughout the rest of your days!

Your fight was inspirational but your love of God was more so!

I love you and I'll miss you until I see you again. May God bless you my friend!
