Gary DURKSEN

11 years already, Dad. Chris had twins, two boys. 2 more grandkids since you've been gone and 12 more great grandkids and now I take them on adventures like you used to. We've had tragedies, we've had wonderful times. A pandemic! You would have been so mad, lol. You are still missed, the kids still talk about you. I still have your Willie Nelson song in my truck.

Gary...you will always be held close in our thoughts.

Gary,you will be missed.I remember when we became family,I was only 12 yrs old. We watched as your children became wonderful adults & how you cherished your grandchildren.

Missing you every minute of the day and wishing we could have had more time together. You are in my heart forever and I will cherish all the memories we shared forever. I am so blessed to have known such love.

Dad I will miss you forever and wish you didn't have to go. But so thankful for the precious last moments I got to spend with you. Love always, in my heart, Jackie.

With deep sympathy for Sue and the Durksen Family. Although I only knew Gary for a short time I could see how happy he made Sue. The loss of a dear loved one is a hard journey.May God help you through that journey. You & the family are in my prayers.

Our sympathy and friendship to Susan, Gary's family, Marie and her family and all of Gary's dear friends. A gentle, caring man who made our world a better place. May he rest in peace.

Gary,
You and Grandma taught me to never take our loved ones for granted.
I love you and will always remember our good times together.

I miss you, Papa. I love you and I hope there's another life after this so that I can see you again. Tell Grandma that we miss her a lot, too.

My family and I send our love to all those that loved Gary. I grew up at the Durksen home as Jacqueline and I were school mates and best friends and her Mom and Dad were pretty great in my eyes. I could share a lot of stories but I just want to say I am so very sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace Mr. Durksen.

You will be missed my friend. I am glad I had the chance to meet you and become friends. Go race all the cars you want and fish wherever you want :) Until we meet up again, may you rest in peace buddy!

I will miss you forever Dad. I send my love to the rest of my family and to all his friends.
