Obituary of Gary Bourlier
March 30, 1948 - January 31, 2024
Gary Edward "Fuzzy" Bourlier. Age 75 of Wyandotte.
Beloved husband of 50 years to Courtney (Feldt) Bourlier. Loving father of Emily (Kevin Kinney) and Bill Bourlier. Dearest Grandfather of Courtney and Madison Kinney. He is also survived by his sidecar dog Dozer, as well as many family and friends.
Preceded in death by parents Louis and Gertrude (Smith) Bourlier, and son Michael Bourlier.
Gary (or "Fuzzy," as he was known) had many careers, having worked at Johnson Creamery, Wyandotte Chemical, The Bottom Drawer, and McCord Gasket, eventually settling down with his own company, G&B Lawn Mowing, for over 40 years. He was an avid motorcycle and sidecar enthusiast, and could often be spotted cruising around Downriver playing classic rock with his dog Dozer in his sidecar. Gary truly lived the motorcycle and sidecar lifestyle throughout his years. He was also an outdoorsman, and loved to camp, fish, canoe, and kayak. More than anything, Fuzzy enjoyed spending time with his family and many friends.
Memorial Contributions are appreciated to the Bourlier family.
Cremation will take place at The On-Site Crematory, located within Molnar Funeral Homes - Brownstown Chapel.
