Gary Koerner Obituary
He moved to Wisconsin at age 25 to pursue the Automobile Business.
At age 48, he decided to change careers, went to school to become a Certified Medical Assistant. He was a natural at helping others. He was loved by coworkers and patients and it was his dream career. He was very patient with young and old alike.
He was passionate about music, helping others and loved to laugh. Being an only child, he never forgot what it was like to be a kid among adults. He was a master of practical jokes and thrived on scaring and fooling his family and friends.
He has left a huge void in the lives of many. You never realize how you build your life around a special soul until it is gone.

Gary was one of my closest friends. We could go for years and start talking like it had just been minutes instead of years. When we were in kindergarten I brought him home with me. Mom had to figure out his name and call his mom to let her know where he was. I will miss you Gary! Praying for your mom and family.
