Gary Marko Obituary
Gary passed away at his home in Covington on May 9th after an intense battle with cancer at the age of 42. He was born on July 25, 1964 in St. Charles, MO.
He is survived by his wife and best friend, Amy, and his daughters Madison, Morgan, and Megan; his mother Pauline Marko of St. Charles; and brother Marty; as well as many other relatives and friends. His father Harold preceded him in death.
Gary graduated from high school in St. Charles and went to Florrisant Community College and attended the University of Texas.

The Marko family would like to thank all those who have offered their loving support during Gary's long illness.
