Gary Curlee Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Coats Funeral Home - Waterford on Jan. 12, 2025.
CURLEE, GARY D. of Pontiac, passed away January 10, 2025 at 81 years of age. Loving husband of Sharon for 63 years; dear father of Michael (Katherine) Curlee, Mark (Michelle) Curlee, and Keri (Loren) Duningan; grandfather of Shelly (Ann), Jordan (Steve), Joel (Kayla), Ashlei, and Kara; great grandfather of Lilliana, Abraham, and Elijah; brother of the late Jerry Curlee. Gary retired from St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Pontiac in 2002 after 17 years of service. He was a simple man, a bit of a homebody, and loved collectibles. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and wintering in Florida. There was nothing sweeter than sitting on the deck on a nice sunny day. A good husband, father, and grandfather with a good sense of humor will be dearly missed. No services will be held at this time. Arrangements entrusted to COATS FUNERAL HOME-WATERFORD.
