Gary Gochenour Obituary
Gary spent his career utilizing his artistic and creative sensibility to design and perfect beautiful landscapes for people through Nature's Magic. His eye for the perfect oasis on any property made what he did a true work of art.
Gary is survived by his mom, Ella Lott; his sisters, Shauna Case and Connie Burns; his brother, Rod Gochenour and wife Eileen; his brother, Ronnie Moss; his daughter, Andrea Samson, her husband Mike, and their sons Rylan and Brayden; and his daughter, Lindsay Mangum, and her husband Josh; along with many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by Gary Lee Gochenour, Sr., his father.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, September 30, 2023, at 2 pm at Mallard Park, on the corner of 10th and Orchard, in Caldwell.
In his free time, Gary was an avid hunter and fisherman, spending his time with family and friends in the woods after deer and elk, or on the water catching bass. If he wasn't hunting or fishing, surely you could find him somewhere on vacation.
Please join us in remembering and celebrating Gary's life.
Rest in peace, Gary Lee. You will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved you.

I went to school with Gary and he was such a sweet and funny guy. Always made everyone laugh and always no matter who you were he was kind to you. I have wished over the years to see him again. So sorry to hear of his passing. Bless all of his family.

I went to school with Gary. What a nice guy he was. Always a smile and good humor. I have not seen him since high school. But wondered over the years what happened with his life! I was blessed to have know him.
