AUBURN - Gary L. Casterline Jr., 50 of Auburn passed away Monday January 22, 2024.

He was a very talented and skilled self-employed automotive technician, and owned Redline Automotive for numerous years.

Gary was definitely a people person, enjoying the company of others, always smiling and having a good time with his family and friends. He especially enjoyed cooking and the outdoors, whether it was boating, fishing, hunting or skiing. Gary could almost always be found outside doing something. He will be greatly missed .

He is survived by his loving wife of 22 years, Shelly (Lynch) Casterline of Auburn; two children: Jeremy Casterline and Kirsten Casterline; his in-laws, Thomas (Linda) Lynch; sister-in-law, Mary (Kevin) Gibbs; uncle, Gary Vroman; as well as several other relatives and friends.

A private memorial service will be held in Pettigrass Funeral Home at the convenience of the family.
