RIP uncle Gary. I still remember the times we would go for walks when I was little. My fondest memory was when you used to tell me you hung out with Bigfoot drinking beers around a camp fire. I thought you were so cool and I still believe it to this day. We never know how much time we have on this earth so I hope your time was well spent and you lived it the way you wanted to. Let us remember just how short life can be and live it to the fullest. Love you uncle Gary.

To the family of Gary Arendt, it's with great sorrow that I pray for Gary's peace and restfulness. His journey was not an easy one with the obstacles that he faced. His great strength and will to live life was amazing. His caring ways for his co-workers was unmatched, and his love for all his pets, either at home or at work proved how much he cared. Gary will rest in peace now with all the love we all share for him.
Chris Johnson and family.

Dear Gary, You were the best brother in-law. We had so many fun times way back. I always stuck up for you and you stuck up for me in a lot of different battles. I can sit here and remember all the funny things like Otto. But also that you still thought of me as your sister in law and how you were like a brother when we would talk. I will often think of those day's. Love You
