Gary Donald Bone – Norfolk, VA
Gary Donald Bone, born on October 8, 1954, in Portsmouth, VA, passed away peacefully on March 5, 2025, in Norfolk, VA, at the age of 70. Raised in Norfolk, VA, Gary was a proud graduate of Booker T. Washington High School, where he laid the foundation for a life marked by dedication and passion.
Gary spent his professional years as a dedicated Delivery Driver, known for his reliability and strong work ethic, which earned him the respect and admiration of colleagues and customers alike. Outside of work, Gary was an avid fan of racing, cherishing the thrill and excitement of the sport throughout his life.
He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, James W. and Betty Jane (Turner) Bone, and his stepson, Richard G. Evans "Ricky." Gary leaves behind a loving family, including his devoted wife of 31 years, Gwendolyn M. (Frizzell) Bone; his brother, Dennis Bone, and wife Jeannine; his cherished niece, Mallory; his stepdaughter, Victoria Evans, along with her children; and his cousin, Daniel Keffer. Each of them will forever hold dear the memories of his warm heart and generous spirit.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date to honor Gary's memory and the indelible mark he left on those who knew him. His family and friends will gather to remember the joy he brought into their lives and to celebrate a life well-lived.
