Gary Lynn Tolman, age 65 passed away September 14, 2022 at Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital, Vero Beach.

He was born June 15, 1957 in Melbourne, Florida to the late Leroy Tolman and Sabina Miller.

Gary was a graduate of Eau Gallie High School.

He was employed as a Superintendent at Proctor Construction and had built a successful career in the construction industry.

Those who knew Gary could tell you he would do anything to support his friends and family. He enjoyed being out on the water with friends and a rod in hand. He loved sports and was a member of the Moxley softball team where he made lifelong friends. On a beautiful day you could find him on the back of his motorcycle or on the golf course. Gary loved to recount stories of family ski trips and memories made. He was a proud father and took pride in helping his children achieve their goals. Gary was a man who knew how to have fun in life, and he will be forever missed by all who knew him.

Survivors include his children, Lynn (Aaron) Harmon, Ryan Tolman, Brent (Bridgette) Tolman, Chad Tolman, Jordyn Tolman; and her mother, Kerry Charles; siblings, Sheila Tolman (Ray) Birch, Leroy (Linda) Tolman, and Don (Margot) Tolman; along with six grandchildren.

A private ceremony was held by family and a Celebration of Life was held to include the many friends Gary has made throughout the years.

Arrangements are by Thomas S. Lowther Funeral Home & Crematory, Vero Beach.
