I knew Gary in High School. We were on the wrestling team together. We lost touch after high school but it breaks my heart to hear of his passing so soon. Condolences to all his friends and family and to all those who Gary impacted in this life.

Drove Gary to Henry Ford II HS w/O Dixon in the Freezemobile. Good guy. Tough at a poker table; tougher on a wrestling mat. Can't believe he's gone on to the better life so soon. Condolences to Michelle and rest of family, but he still is with all who knew him.

I didn't know Mr. Fettig all that well, we met a few times when I was in high school but I know many of the young men he helped form into great people. The respect, care and admiration his friends and athletes have shown is truly inspirational.

Grant eternal rest unto thy soul O Lord, and bless this man and his family from this life unto the next! God Bless Fettig family.
