Gary Confer

Gary Confer, beloved brother, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away on January 15, 2023. He is survived by his brothers, Buddy and Doug Confer; sons, Matt (Megan) and Greg (Brittany) Confer; stepchildren, Alex, Doug, and Matt (Kristen) Rossino; grandchildren, Ethan & Ava Confer, Olivia & Ryder Moore, and Nico Rossino; and partner of the past 3 years, Judy Betts. He is predeceased by his parents, Doris & Charles Confer; sister, Dawn Confer; and late-wife, Lori Keogh Confer.

Gary was born in Long Island, NY, and moved with his mother and siblings to Long Beach, CA, at a young age. Gary excelled at academics and was a 3-sport athlete graduating at the top of his class with honors from Estancia High School. He then went on to receive his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Harvard University where he also played on the Harvard football team. His next step was on to medical school at UC Irvine where he achieved his Doctor of Medicine before beginning his career as a radiologist, marrying, and becoming a proud father. During his 25+ years as a radiologist, Gary held various leadership positions and was known for going above and beyond in his work. Although he was a dedicated worker, his main priority was his boys. He loved spending as much time with them as he could by volunteering as their little league coach and always taking them out to throw a ball around. Gary later retired to Austin, TX, and enjoyed being on the water in his boat, playing music, writing, and getting to spend time with his grandkids.

Gary was one of a kind with the most compassionate heart and contagious laugh. He was taken from us too soon and to say that he will be greatly missed is certainly an understatement.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you make a donation to the Central Texas Food Bank in Gary's name.
