Gary spent his early years in the Las Vegas, Nevada area and moved to Colorado Springs in 1970 with his family. They then moved to Fountain, Colorado where he graduated from Fountain Ft. Carson High School in 1978. He enlisted in the Air Force in 1978 and served through 1982 leaving Mt. Home Air Force Base, Idaho as a Sergeant. He received his Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) License from Colorado Aero Tech in 1985. After receiving his A&P License he worked with Martin Marietta and regional commuter airlines. For the last 26 years he worked for American Airlines as an Aircraft Mechanic in both Tulsa, Oklahoma and Denver, Colorado. His dream was always to be a part of the aviation industry and spent his life fulfilling that desire.

He came to the Denver area and met Kimberly Rohrig in 1985. They were married on February 8, 1986 at Bethel Lutheran Church in Aurora, Colorado. They lived in the Denver Metro Area for the first four years of their marriage before moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma where they began their family. They have two children Christopher and Mikaela.

Gary enjoyed his family and the outdoors with a passion. He spent many years of his life teaching his wife and children the joys of motorcycling and four-wheeling. As a family, many hours were spent camping and fishing in various places but mostly in the mountains of Colorado that he loved so much. His love of outdoor shooting activities was infectious and most recently became a family hobby. Although he couldn't get his wife to stop calling it; "playing Cowboys and Indians" .

Funeral Services will be held at Bethel Lutheran Church Saturday, January 24, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. followed by a reception luncheon to celebrate his life. It's the family's wish that you honor Gary's memory by acting upon and spreading the word that early detection can save lives.
