Gary Fineske

My dear friend Gary, I often still talk about you to friends, family and fellow Christians. You meant a lot to me and still do. God bless always! Dan.

Gary was a wonderful guy, very funny and brought a positive energy to pretty much every situation. Enjoyed the time when we were both with the Mavs very much. So sorry to hear he has passed.

Just found he had this site 6 months later.

To a good friend who went to the same church and high school and played football there in Toledo, Ohio. I will miss you and your religious
inspiration. I could go on further but there isn´t enough room.

The love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I am saddened by the passing of my friend Gary, whose companionship I was honored to have had. Gary, a former Mr. Toledo from 1967, initiated contact with me about 15 years ago upon discovering my online profile, thus commencing our friendship. He was a consistently kind, positive, and authentic friend to both me and my family. Gary was a lifelong learner, perpetually seeking knowledge in health, fitness, and various other areas that intrigued him. Foremost, he was a devout Christian who unapologetically shared his passion for Jesus Christ, living a life that embodied his beliefs. May he now rest in peace with the Lord.

He came to my Orthopedic Massage seminar in Dallas. He was working for the Mavericks at the time and he had the kindest heart and soul. His family is in my heart thoughts and prayers in this difficult time. RIP my special friend.

Gary was a kind and gentle soul who always found the time to help others. I´d known Gary for close to 25 years. He was a great storyteller and loved his family. He always sincerely celebrated his friends´ successes, and lent a helping hand and ear when times weren´t so great. Gary was a loyal and dedicated friend to so many people. Sharing his life experiences, his advice on health and fitness, and his love of others, is truly a lightened path that represents a life well lived. May Gary´s memory burn brightly in our hearts for all of the days of our lives. RIP my friend
