Gary Wayne Dean

Memories of Gary will forever be in my heart. He was a gentle man who loved God and my sister. It was difficult to see him suffering in his final days, and I know that now he is free of all that pain. I will miss him so much. My prayers are for you sis. I love you.

We didn't know Gary very long yet seemed we had know him and called him friend for years. We will always remember him as a quite, gentle man. When he lead the song service in Yreka if the hymn had 4 verses he had us sing all 4, if there had been 6,all of them!!! When our leader now has us sing all verses of a hymn we think of Gary. He touched our lives by just being Gary! He will be missed. Love you Grace. Tom and Ruth James

A flood of memories have swept over me these past few weeks. Every memory of Gary has brought great joy to me. The years we spent running and playing in the hills around Castaic, building forts and growing up together on Cherry Street will be with me forever.
The years we spent together in high school, me watching Gary play sports. I was so proud to be his sister. He was so handsome, gentle and fun to be with.
As time went by we both married and started separate lives with our...

Gary was the kindest man at jh ranch.. he would ALWAYS stop to give the wranglers a ride up the hill and he was always smiling. I think about him every time I see a white work truck! Gary was such a gentleman.
Love you grace!

Gary was the epitome of a humble servant. I will forever have his kind smile engrained in my mind. I loved walking up to the Lodge and seeing Gary and his faithful buddy Stumpy always working on something that would enhance the guest's Ranch experience. He was one of the most hardworking men I have ever met. The Ranch will not be the same without his presence. He was a true conduit of the love of Christ to all that came in contact with him. We love the Deans dearly!

I will never forget the way you humbly served him and how his grace was always sufficient for you. What an awesome testimoney you left for all of us. We are blessed to have served along side you and await our reunion together in paradise! Thank you Gary for your faithfulness to him in all that you did.

Dearest Grace & Family, I just wanted to send my sincere condolences to you all. Gary was a great man of faith, and I will always cherish our time together and the things he taught me both work wise and spiritually. May your whole family be at peace, because Gary is finally with the Lord and I am sure that God has called out to Gary, "Well done my good and faithful servant!" Blessings to you and your family. Sincerely, Bob & Gaylene Earp

Gary was truly one of the greatest men I have ever had the privilege of meeting. His home and his heart were always open and he welcomed people in with the love of Christ. When I think of a gentleman - Gary fit that description perfectly. He was as gentle as they come, yet as tough as any man I have known. I thank God for the example of true manhood that I saw in Gary's life - his impact lives on!

I knew I could always count on a ride up lodge hill from Gary and Digger! Hardest worker I have ever met and sweetest spirit. Love you Gary and Gracie, and family, we are praying for you.
