Gale Packard
(1948 – 2025)
Gale Packard, a proud Navy veteran and accomplished businessman, passed away peacefully on 1-6-2025 at the age of [76]. Gale served his country with honor and dedication during his time in the United States Navy, embodying the spirit of service and commitment throughout his life.
After his military service, Gale pursued higher education, earning a business degree that fueled his professional endeavors and reflected his dedication to learning and growth.
He is survived by his loving siblings: his brothers Seth and Brian Packard, and his sister Cheryl Smelser. Gale is also remembered fondly by his many nieces, nephews, and extended family members. He was a cherished member of his family, and his kindness, strength, and sense of humor will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Gale's life was marked by his love of family, his patriotism, and his unwavering loyalty to those he cared about. He leaves behind a legacy of integrity, wisdom, and compassion.
At this time, no service is planned. The family asks for privacy as they grieve the loss of Gale.
Gale will forever remain in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
