I am completely devastated. I have been crying ever since I heard the news an hour ago. Clark and I considered. Darlene and Gary such dear friends. We cannot believe he is gone but we know where he is and that our Savior was waiting to embrace him when he arrived. May God comfort and strengthen your family as He did ours when our own 19-year-old daughter Bethany was killed by a drunk driver. We love you.

So sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful man.

A true and beautiful tribute to an incredible man of God. Gary walked his talk & lived his life for our Lord. It was a privilege to have him in our lives. Fly high dear brother & catch that silver lined wave with Daddy you talked about !!! Love & prayers continue for his precious family. We are here if you need anything🙏🏼❤️

Your father was an amazing man and a true encourager. He had a real impact on my life during our days together at the VA. You are all in my thoughts. To quote a message from Gary to me during a rough time: Philippians 4 :8. Think about thihgs that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and worthy of praise. Peace will follow. ...So praying for peace for all of you (and us who will miss him here among us.)
