Gary Neff Obituary
Gary grew up in Post Falls, ID with his mom, dad and sister Christina. He loved Jehovah's creation and enjoyed camping, fishing and hunting. He loved playing sports with his dad and cousins.
As a teenager, Gary met and fell in love with the love of his life Marcina Thoeny. They got married on June 19th, 1999. In October 2004, they welcomed their daughter Jaidyn, and in December 2006, their son Dylan. In September of this year, Gary would have become a grandfather to his daughter Jaidyn's baby, Journee Grace.
Gary is survived by his wife, children, parents, sister, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. A Remembrance of Life for those that knew and loved Gary will be held later this summer, details to come.

Gary and Marcina have always been like my younger siblings. I watched them grow up and fall in love. I love them so much.
My brother, Josh, viewed Gary as one of his best friends and Brother. I was privileged to often hear him and my brother laughing at some mischief they had gotten into. I am looking forward to the time when Gary and Josh will wake up and share their laughter and jokes with us again.

My dad was someone that could absolutely light up any room he walked in. He could make people laugh without even trying but he had the biggest heart and he always said I got that from him. He will always be missed by everyone.

Al and Patty, thank you for sharing you beautiful family with ours. We love all of you so much. Gary was a huge part of our lives growing up, and was there with LaRae and I when we first started dating. He would get us laughing so hard , usually saying or doing something so goofy right while we were eating together, that the food would end up flying out our mouths and onto the floor. We've enjoyed camping,hiking,fishing,hunting,sports,dinners and so much more with him and all of you. He will be missed dearly....we love you all.
