Renee, Justin and Garret, my heart goes out to you all. It was clear, even in the few times I met Gary that he was a great guy and adored his family.

To the Collins family. My deepest sympathy to you all during your time of need. We have lost an amazing man. I was very close to Gary in High School however I have not kept in touch. I was just informed of this incident today. My heat goes out to you. I will keep you in my prayers.
