I was so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I have some great memories of him and my thought are with the family and friends at this time. I will remember all of the good times that Gary and I shared.

The night before he die. I went to see Gary He liked to have the top of his head scratch and his beard.Gary ( my bdear brother and friend) could not scratch his beard hiself because he was a quadraplagic. I told him that I loved him and that we would be together again. I told him that if he confessed his sins that Jesus would forgive him and that he would have a new body whole and perfect. Then I gave him a hug and that I would see him later

It's not by chance that we all gathered to honor Gary. God knows the first breath we take and the last one. He knows when a sparrow falls to the ground and He knew when Gary would take his last breathe. When Gary was asked if he was ready to go home to heaven Gary's answer was if they'll have me, that shows a humble heart Gary said he made his peace with God and it pleases the Father when one of His children turn to him with a repentant heart wanting to come home. Till we meet again Gary.

Gary,my big brother and friend
You were always a wild and crazy kid, when we were growing up. As an adult you always had a zest for life, that's how you got your nickname "Wildman".
Your greatest passion was playing your guitar, music was everything to you. I remember when we were teenagers and you played in the band at the teen club in Puerto Rico, you would always have the band dedicate a song to Paige's little sister.
I will never forget you telling me, many years ago right after your motorcycle accident, how much you were going to miss playing your guitar.
Now, Gary you can play your guitar and keep making that sweet, sweet, music. Rock on, Wildman!
You are always in my heart.
Your loving sister.

Paige family, working with Clayton has given me the privilege of knowing Gary, even though I have never met him. My sympathy goes out to the family for your loss.

Clayton and family. I am so very sorry for your loss. I feel as if I had known Gary personally all these years. Each day will be easier but you will never miss him less.
