Gary Lybrand Obituary
He was warm, caring, and funny. He loved his family almost as much as he loved taking naps. A lifelong Dr Pepper enthusiast, Gary had a laid-back nature and a dry sense of humor. He didn't need much to be happy - just a comfortable couch, something to fix, and someone to joke with.
He is survived by his son, Phillip Lybrand (Vancouver, WA); his daughter, Magen Klovos (Tucson, AZ); and three grandchildren: Gabriel, Castiel, and Shelby. He was preceded in death by his older sister, Linda Greif.
A memorial gathering will take place on Saturday, July 26, from 12-3pm at Picnic Island Park in Port Tampa. All who knew him are welcome to come share memories and remember him in the place he called home.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society.

We always had fun when Gary visited us. I feel very lucky to get him to visit us in Pittsburgh last year. Love and miss him
