Gary Sulzer Obituary
Went home to be with the Lord on April 29, 2011 in Peoria, AZ after a courageous five year battle with cancer. Gary was born November 7, 1953 to Raymond and Lila Sulzer in Ashtabula, Ohio. He graduated from Glendale High School in 1972 after an outstanding athletic career. Gary worked as a dental technician and for a period of time, operated his own lab. He is survived by his devoted parents Raymond and Lila Sulzer, daughter Lynsay Byrne, son Jacob Sulzer, and three grandchildren, brothers Robert Sulzer and Randall Sulzer, sisters Brenda Betts (Paul), Susan Wreyford (Jim), and Lori Wilson. Private services will follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in honor of Gary to Hospice of the Valley. Arrangements by Hansen Arrowhead Funeral Center.

Gary was my first love and has always held a special place in my heart. I knew he was a tireless athlete, and it appears he was a tireless fighter, as well. My deepest sympathy is with his family at this time. May you take comfort knowing that he is finally at Peace. He will surely be missed.

Ray, Lila and family,
"We each must grieve in our own way, in our own time."
Our deepest sympathy on the loss of a son and brother. We know he will be missed very much. Gary was very lucky to have parents and siblings who cared for him during his illness. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I feel so fortunate to have been able to make trips out west to see Gary three times in the past 5 years and visit and be able to reminisce about our childhood memories and fun growing up in OH. We are hoping the family will find comfort in all their special memories of Gary, I know I have.
