Gary Wayne Etheredge

I will always remember Gary and his open and friendly way. You would never know what he was dealing with; and Sheri always warm and loving with a beautiful smile. Hope all is well! Alison Fernandez

I've known Gary since the beginnings of our careers in coaching and teaching. It always made my day to spend time with Gary. He was the most talented person I ever met in education. It's been wonderful to read other people's remembrances of Gary, and know he touched the lives of so many of us. He will be missed.

Sheri- I just read about Gary in the Lompoc Record. I am so sorry. What a wonderful man! Always warm and friendly! What a great Loss!
My thoughts are with you and your family!

I will always remember your smile, laughter and positive attitude.
Do you live on in our memory.

Robin and I were surprised and saddened to hear of Gary' passing. It is tough to hear about old friends moving on. Gary's smile and kindness will be missed. Our thoughts and condolences to Sheri and the family.

I was both shocked and saddened to read of Gary's passing. He was such an upbeat man and saw the good in everyone!
He was a true gentle man in every sense of the word!

Very sad to seeing the passing of a fellow colleague, coach and friend. Alawys enjoyed our friendship, competitiveness and laughs together. I admired your courage, humor and wisdom that you exhibited throughout your life. My sincere condolences to your wife Sheri, sons Chris and Brett. RIP Coach
