Gary Edward Pace, age 69, passed away on June 5, 2025, in Taylor, Michigan. Born on December 20, 1955, in Michigan, Gary was a cherished son, husband, father, grandfather, and brother, whose presence brought joy and warmth to those around him.
Gary was a man of simple pleasures and deep passions. He found great joy in the outdoors, particularly through his love of hunting. An ardent sports enthusiast, he was a loyal supporter of the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Lions, always cheering for his hometown teams with unwavering enthusiasm. His love for Harley Davidson motorcycles reflected his adventurous spirit and his appreciation for freedom and the open road. Gary retired from the U.A.W. after 32 years of dedicated service.
Family was at the heart of Gary's life. He is lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, Linda Pace; his children, Shawn, Jessie, and Shannon; and his grandchildren, Taylor, Hunter, Kaylee, Summer, Atticus, and Bennett. Gary is also survived by his brothers, Phil and Roy, who shared the joys and challenges of life with him.
Preceded in death by his beloved parents, Victor and Ruby Pace, Gary carried their legacy forward with dignity and grace, instilling in his family the values of love, loyalty, and resilience.
Gary will be deeply missed by all who knew him, leaving behind a legacy of cherished memories and a life well-lived. In these moments of remembrance, we find comfort in the lasting impact he made on the lives of his family and friends.
