Barb and the Feazel family. There are few words we can offer. Gary was one of those "nice guys", always with a kind or happy word; a smile on his face. Our hearts go out to you. We offer prayers up for him and for each of you, that the Lord may ease your sadness.

Barb & family,
My thoughts & prayers are with all of you. It is always hard to understand why God calls our loved ones home. Take peace in knowing Gary passed quickly & without suffering, as is often the case.
There will be a major void & sadness in all of your lives. Pause, and take the time to wrap yourself in the wonderful memories each of you shared with him. Those memories were created to remind all of you just how much he loved each & everyone of you!
Gary touched so many, in many different ways. The last time he & I spoke was about 9 months ago. We had been the only ones to stop on Centreville Ave. to check on a man laying along side of the road. I had stopped first, called 9-1-1 for help & was waiting for assistance when Gary pulled up to help also. Many other cars had passed by, but no one else seemed to care enough to stop, but Gary. He & I waited together for the police to arrive.
Turned out the man was homeless, sick & had just layed down to rest because he was so weak from not having eaten. Gary had taken a small amount of time out of his life, to help another man in distress. That gesture signified what a caring man he was.
My sympathy to all of the family,
