Gary Diedrich Obituary
Gary was a dedicated husband to Ann, his loving wife of 48 years, and a devoted father to Angela, Kelly, and Richard. He was also a proud grandfather to five grandchildrenJacob, Sofia, Kody, Landon, and Brooklyneach of whom brought him great joy.
A lifelong handyman and tradesman, there wasnt much Gary couldnt fix. He approached every task with quiet confidence and practical skill. If something was broken, Gary didnt see a problemhe saw a project.
While he was a man of few words, Garys presence spoke volumes. He was steady, dependable, and hard workingvalues that shaped how he lived and how hell be remembered. Garys kindness, strength, and love for his family will never be forgotten.
