Gary Patrick Hexamer, age 79, of Folcroft, passed away on August 9, 2025 at Riddle Memorial Hospital. Gary was born on August 14, 1945, in Kitchener, Canada. He graduated High School at Lancaster Central High School in Lancaster, New York. Gary then served in the U.S. Army from 1963 until 1966. He worked many years in the factories including Westinghouse and Boeing finally retiring from Boeing after many years of service.
Mr. Hexamer was an incredible father who always took care of his kids. Up until his last days even in a hospital bed he was still fighting so he could make sure everything was in order for his son, and this showed the character of this man.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Terrence, his son Douglas Hexamer and his ex - wife Veronica. He is survived by his oldest son Craig Hexamer, his brother Mark Hexamer and his sisters Karen Stegall and Debbie Neufeld.
A viewing for Gary will be held at Cavanagh Family Funeral Home, 301 Chester Pike, Norwood, PA. 19074, on Saturday, August 16, 2025 from 10 AM - 11 AM followed by a brief Prayer Service at 11 AM.
