 So sorry for your loss Gary was my good friend for 13 years and he was such a blessing to me he wrote me a poem for my birthday every single year and I miss that poem for sure this year so talented love dancing with him love listening to him saying we were going to each other’s shows.I know he was suffering and I asked him if he wanted to pray with me that she uses would take  him home he said now you’re talking my language so I pray the most unselfish prayer I ever prayed that God would please take him home so he wouldn’t have to suffer anymore I had a wonderful conversation with him the weekend after and then Ron called and told me that God had taken him home I miss him like crazy but I know he’s right where he wants to be Dancing on streets of gold and singing praises to the Lord sending love and prayers and comfort sandie and mark

Greg, Jeff and Jamie I don't even know where to start there have been so very many many memories that I have of your dad and Dennis. At least now they are back together and Heaven will NEVER be the same. Your dad sang at both my parents funerals and also Dennis Memorial Service. My heart and love and prayers go out to ALL of you. You have the peace to know where your dad is and that you will see him again one day. Love and prayers to ALL of you. Bonnie Logan

Gary was a good friend for23 years. Everyone loved him and he was a good Christian. 

I went with him and Pat to a lot of  their singing at local venues. Gary was also a great dancer and a lot of fun. He also came to Florida and stayed in my house while I was away visiting my family in MO. He will be truly missed.

 God bless all his family.

Gary and I were neighbors and best buddies from first grade through high school.  A remarkably creative and innovative kid, he convinced me to run a pair of wires from his house to mine, through the trees, across the street (Hurd Avenue) and into our bedroom windows, a good 300 yards.  With speakers at each end, Gary and spent many hours chatting about everything teenage kids love, once in a while a homework assignment.  Gary loved photography and set up a dark room off his bedroom.  I remember fondly the literally thousand of hours playing pickup football and basketball with the neighborhood kids.  With fond memories of a wonderful childhood, Ben (Brabson)

Deep condolences on behalf of Ruthann Tiffany, Stacey (Tiffany) Bezel and John Bezel. I met Gary when I was a youth pastor at Itasca Evangelical Free Church in 1982. Great guy. Loved The Lord. Up until his last two weeks in this world he would message me on Facebook regularly. Miss his humor and wit.

Gary was given such a wonderful gift from God, yes it was his voice.  I loved hearing him sing, went to gigs that he was sing at and considered him a friend and brother in Christ.  He will be missed by many but just think how heaven must sound.  I had the privilege of having Gary sing at my mother's wake when she passed away.  He had never met my mother but it was an honor to have him there with my family.

To the family, my deepest condolence and prayers are with you.  Your father was loved by many and we will see him again.
