Garrett Earl "Gary" Deane Jr.

I was unaware of Gary's passing until coming across this page today. I studied at Capital Seminary with him and shared many classes with him. He was always an encouragement to me and an inspiration to the whole class. He spent so much time and effort in following God during a time of his life where many sit back and relax. I can confidently say that this effort was not wasted.

I know you will celebrate Gary´s birthday in some sweet way.... He will love that... what a zest for life with Jesus did Gary have....I´m sure there will be many "Gary stories"shared and remembered on his birthday.... Thinking of you and family my friend

I have fond memories of the square dance group Gary and Kathy helped to organize and chaperone aboard the Doulos. They were very strategic in pairing partners. My partner was always the shortest guy dancing on a given evening. We would dance as part of International Night, a cultural exhibition with a gospel message woven in. My condolences to Kathy and the girls.

A wonderful Friend,Father,Husband,Granddad and Person. A friend to lots of people. He was a Blessing for me and Elaine to have met him and Kathy. A Great loss . God Bless you Gary My friend. All our Love to Family. Elaine + Dave in England .

May his memory be a blessing. Cheryl Dennis

Today was Gary´s memorial service...and it was wonderful in every way...we watched on line with deep appreciation, admiration and love...in awe and thankfulness to God...for every moment of the service...the pictures, the music, the personal stories from John, next...Gary´s best friend, then Kathy and the girls, the sweet testimonies and the solid Gospel message of Jesus´ love, mercy and grace offered to all of us in the new birth, salvation, eternal life, forgiveness, reconciliation,...
