Gary was a truly unique person. One of the most thoughtful and giving people I have come to known. I will miss his humor,his generosity and most of all his friendship.Though I know I will never meet another human being to match his character,his memory will remain with me always.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Gary is laughter, lots and lots of it. He could make the most sad person smile in a matter of seconds. Gary was a wonderful man and I'm blessed to have known him, though his time here with us was too short, he is unforgetable and greatly loved and missed by many.

Gary I had nothing but great times with you! Miss ya, love ya.

My condolences to Gary's family and friends.

Gary, there are not enough words to articulate what a tremendous impact he had on the lives of everyone he knew. He could fill even the darkest room with light!! Though I didn't have the pleasure of knowing him as well as I would have liked to, I am eternally grateful for the time I did get to spend with him. My heart goes out to the family he left behind, and I know he will be the forefront of our minds all the days of our lives.

I have only known Gary for a short time, but he is the kind of person that once you meet him, you feel like you've known him your whole life! I met Gary two years ago at at Tattoo Convention in Boston, and was so taken by his wonderful attitude and great sense of humor! My deepest condolences to all of his family. Words cannot even begin to express how sorry I am for your loss. May you find comfort knowing you raised a wonderful son, who was loved by so many.

I can not even begin to explain the grief I feel at the loss of my friend. All of my life I will miss that big and colorful boy with the infectious laugh and amazing personality. He changed my life in so many ways and I feel so incredibly lucky to have known such a wonderful person. Gary was one of the most giving and understanding people I have ever had the priveledge to call a friend. He will be sorely missed by many and I know I will never forget him.

Although I have only had the pleasure of knowing Gary for two years, I must say he has made such a mark on my life. As mother of one of his favorite tattoo artists, I consider him one of my "tattooed children." He was always talking, talking, talking and fun to be with. He was a great friend and everyone will miss him very much. I am glad I had the pleasure of knowing him. My condolences to his family for their loss. They need to know that they raised a fine, caring young man who was taken too soon from this world.
