Sgt. Gary D. Willett

I met Gary in Schweinfurt, Germany where we both served 1st Battallion 18th Infantry in 1998. by random chance in 2001 when we were both stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado we hung out one weekend near Denver when a mutual friend who had been with us in Germany said Gary was in his unit and was coming along. I got out in 2002 and lost touch. When I did get back in touch, the first thing he told me was that Gary had been killed in Iraq by an IED. every few years I look it up and try remember...

GOD BLESS U AND MAY U R.I.P.

I never knew Gary but I knew Calvin pretty well. He was not only my husbands NCO but more importantly his friend and mine. He lived with us for a few months before his first deployment and it was an adventure to say the least. He was always looking out for the people around him. My husband broke his back while training and it was Calvin that went down the gulch to get him, injuring his knee in the process however he would never let something like an injury stop him from getting to his...

To the family and friends of Sgt. Gary D. Willett:
It has truly been my honor to sign Gary's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Gary will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

I knew Gary when he lived in Maryland, we went to middle school together and he was a great friend. I was shorter and I got picked on and Gary was always there to have my back. After school I lost contact with him. I searched but could never find where he went. I was recently talking to an old girlfriend of his from school when I found out he had been taken from us. It put such a pain in my heart to know he is not here with us anymore. Gary I will miss you and I will never forget you....

You will be missed Sgt Willett.

Family and Friends of SGT. Willett,
I didn't have the privilage of meeting Gary in life, but my brother did. They served together in Iraq. He saved my brothers life following an attack on their position. I can't thank him enough for his bravery; my brother talks about him as if he were ten feet tall and the epitome of a Noncommissioned Officer. If possible, my brother, Adam would like to thank Gary's family. My email is listed below if they would like his number or if he may call...

Dear Gary and friends and family, you're in my thoughts and prayers especially today. Never forget…
