Gary Becker Obituary
Gary was a man of simple pleasures, finding joy in the art of drawing, particularly weather maps, and cherishing his collection of stuffed animals. His gentle spirit was evident to all who knew him.
Gary leaves behind several cousins who will remember him fondly and miss him dearly.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects during the visitation on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. until the time of service at 12:00 p.m. at Altmeyer Funeral Home, 1400 Eoff Street, Wheeling, WV officiated by Deacon Doug Breiding. Interment will immediately follow at Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Wheeling, West Virginia.
Gary will be remembered for his kind heart and the quiet joy he brought into the lives of those around him. May he rest in peace.
