Gary Bond Obituary
Gary Bond, born on December 15, 1945, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, passed away peacefully on October 4, 2025, at AdventHealth Lake Wales.
Throughout his life, Gary was a family man, cherishing the relationships he built with his loved ones. He was a resident of Winter Haven during the 1980s before making the move to Lake Wales from Logan, Ohio, where he established his home permanently in 2014.
