We reached out to Gary’s daughter, Stacie, who shared that Gary passed away in April 2019 due to a heart attack in Jacksonville, Fla., where he resided with his family. He had two daughters. Stacie described him as a wonderful father, using the word “amazing” to describe him.

We fondly remember Gary as a popular and friendly classmate who always had a kind word for everyone. He was also a talented musician, actively participating in Mixed Chorus, Concert Choir, and the Operetta. Additionally, Gary showcased his athletic prowess by playing for three years on the Dunedin High School baseball and football teams.

Gary was a proud veteran of the U.S. Air Force. We commend him for his military service. 

We extend our deepest condolences to Gary’s family.
