Gary is predeceased by his wife of 64 years, Deloris (Butler) Crayton and siblings, Barbara Gillan, Phyllis Bell, Gwendolyn "Ray" Morrison, Joan Nuckels, and Donald J. "Duck" Crayton.
He had 89 years to enjoy his family and friends. He was a member of the Farmington Fire Department for many years and enjoyed playing poker with a group of friends there.

The family would like to give thanks to the staff at the Henry Clay Villa and Amedisys Hospice Care for the care he received with them.
