Gary Steelman Obituary
Gary was a loving Husband, Father, and a supportive friend. He loved to Garden, Bar-B-Q with friends and family, play cards and do yardwork.

Gary was predeceased by his parents, Evelyn and Adolph Steelman., brothers Ronnie and Bobby Steelman. He is survived by loving daughters, Veronica Fartelly & Joann Steelman; Sons, Gary, and Jerry Steelman; Grandchildren; Destiny (Richardson) Fartelly, Nicolas Fartelly, Veronica (Trosclair) Hernandez & Angel Steelman; Great Grandson, Austin Hernandez; nieces and nephews, and many friends who remember his joy-filled, loving, compassionate and playful spirit.
Gary believed he had one life to live and lived it to the fullest. He had wishes of no funeral and donated his body to science. His final wish was for family and friends to remember and celebrate him in life with laughter and fondness.
