Gary Humphrey Obituary
He was born on January 19, 1956 to the late Cliff Bailey and Betty Jane Forsythe, in Youngstown, Ohio.

Gary was a retired welder, who enjoyed camping, fishing, boating and riding his motorcycle; but most of all he loved being around his family and friends. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather, who meant the world to his family and friends. He was truly loved and will be missed by so many.
His surviving family includes his sister, Ruby Jean Deshong and her son, Chad; his daughter, Shayla Renee Humphrey; his son, Ronald Gary Humphrey; his stepsons, Thomas Shipley, Tony (Tonya) Kline, Mike Kline and Chris Kline; his grandchildren, Alyssa Shipley, Ronald Humphrey Jr, Cierra Humphrey, Alaina Humphrey, Kiara Humphrey and Madison Humphrey as well as several other step-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews including his nephew, Rick (Robyn) Etto as well as PJ Johnson.
In accordance to his wishes, cremation will take place and Gary will be laid to rest with his wife at Vaughn Cemetery, Lake Milton, Ohio on January 2, 2025.
A celebration of life will be held at a later time with family and friends.
