Gary James Golan, passed away on May 17, 2025, at the age of 76 in Polk City, Florida. Born on September 23, 1948, in Lakeland, Florida.

A proud Marine Corps veteran, Gary served his country with distinction and carried the values of the Corps throughout his life. His commitment to service was further exemplified through his active involvement with the Marine Corps Bulk Fuel Association.
An avid fisherman, Gary found solace and joy in the tranquility of nature. Gary's legacy is one of kindness, generosity, and a life well-lived. As we bid farewell to Gary, we take comfort in the countless memories and the enduring impact he has left on our hearts.
