Bradley Gary Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Brad was a man whose life was defined by his devotion to God, his deep love for family and friends, his tireless work ethic, and his dedication to his career. His laughter could fill an entire room and was wonderfully contagious. Brad had a rare gift for laughing at himself, often with more joy than anyone else in the room.
He was one of the most caring, kind, and generous people you could ever meet. If you needed something done, or if he thought a certain tool might make your life easier. He would quietly and happily make it happen. Making others feel valued and helping them solve problems were among his greatest gifts.
Brad was happiest when he was simply enjoying the moment with the people he loved. He touched countless lives in countless ways. In recent years, his "happy place" was the family's house on the lake, where hosting friends and family became a way for him to express his love.
Some of Brad's favorite pastimes included golfing, boating, playing cards, and indulging in sweets, especially ice cream. We take comfort in knowing he is now with Jesus, even as we struggle with the deep sadness of losing him. Our hope rests in the promise that we will see him again.
The Gary family wishes to share that wearing black is not necessary. We know Brad would have loved to see a room filled with color, joy, and warmth as we honor a life so well lived.
