Gary Moddrell Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
As Henry Ford once said, "The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability." This quote truly encapsulates Gary's life. His expertise in his craft, his wealth of experiences, and his innate abilities made him a pillar of security and strength for his family and his community.
Gary was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Donna Moddrell, and his parents, Clifton and Virginia Moddrell. He leaves behind a rich legacy in his daughters, Teri Hynes and Keri McClean, whose lives have been deeply shaped by their father's wisdom and enduring love.
Gary's life and service to the US Navy will be honored in a graveside service at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent, Washington, on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at 11:00am PDT.
We invite all who knew Gary to remember his life and share their memories on his memorial page. Please feel free to upload photos that celebrate the life and spirit of Gary Moddrell.
