Gary Lee Utter

We will always remember the warm smile and willingness to do anything he was asked to do. We watched him grow up in Dorr and followed his progress in whatever he set his mind to do. Gary will be sadly missed, but we rejoice in knowing that he is in a far better place today. The Lord can always use another trumpet player. Our deepest sympathies to the family.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

My deepest sympathy to the Utter Family at this time of Great loss. My Prayers & thoughts are with you all at this time. May God keep you in his loving arms.
