Gary Lubinski Obituary

Gary Lubinski, 83, of Ten Mile, TN, peacefully passed from this life to the next on March 11, 2026. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri and grew up in Hawaii and Tennessee. In Memphis TN, Gary graduated from Bartlett High School and Christian Brothers University with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He proudly served in the U.S. Naval Reserves from 1964-1968. His engineering career began with NASA and continued through TVA until he retired in 1991.

Gary was a loving husband and father. He loved to travel with his wife Virginia and spend time near the water, but his favorite "home port" was on the lake in Ten Mile, TN.

He is survived by his wife, Virginia Lubinski; children, Dena Brown (Steve), Wendy Elliott, April Ingram, Bryan Mathews, Terry Mathews, and Tracy Mathews; grandchildren Hannah, Emily, Braeden, Addison, Joshua, Samantha; and many step grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ski and Beverly Lubinski, sister Sandy Anderson, and stepson Barry Mathews.

A private family celebration will be held. In his honor, the family encourages you to take the scenic route home and enjoy views along the way.
