November 25, 1949 - October 28, 2025
Gary "Dutch" Brink passed away on October 28, 2025. He was born on November 25, 1949, in Vermont.
Dutch was a devoted husband to his loving wife, Susan Brink, often reminding her that he would marry her again if given the chance.
He was a cherished father and grandfather to those who survive him: his son Matt Brink and wife Soraya and their two children; his son Jesse Brink and wife Kristen, and their two children; and his daughter Katy Da Silva and husband Patrick, and their child.
Dutch is also survived by his sister Donna MacClellan and her five children.
He spent many happy mornings walking his dog, Max, at Yowell Meadow Park, where he enjoyed the companionship of a wonderful community of friends.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at 1 p.m., at Found and Sons Funeral Chapel of Culpeper, 850 Sperryville Pike, Culpeper, Virginia. The family will receive guests one hour prior to the service.

I knew Dutch from our daily walks at Yowell Meadow Park. He and his dog,Max, would walk in one direction around the park and I would walk in the other. We would cross paths two or three times during each round. I carried some milk bone treats with me for Max. Each time we passed one another we would stop and talk for a couple of minutes and I would shake Max's paws and give him a treat. Dutch and Max were at the park every day. Everyone there knew and liked them. Dutch was a genuinely nice guy and he will be missed. From a fellow USAF vet, R.I.P., Dutch.

My condolences to his family in there time of mourning. Known by the staff as Dutch, he was iconic as a patron of pizza hut. He was friendly conversational and we all truely looked forward to his weekly visit. He showed immense love for his wife always taking such care of her. The old fashion chivalry in this man was spoken of highly for the 7 years we were honored to know him. He will be very missed and never forgotten.

I knew Dutch when he played on our baseball team at Midland Church of the Brethren. He and his wife and family worshipped with us for a few years. We will miss him.

My prayers go out to Gary's family. I did not know him but saw him frequently walking with his dog at Yowell and he was always very friendly. Was nice to see another New Englander/Red Sox fan here.
