Gary Paetsch Obituary
Gary owned and operated Paetsch woodworking in Salt Lake. He loved refinishing antiques and building one-of-a-kind furniture. The more challenging the work the more he enjoyed it. In his spare time, he loved, fishing, camping, riding his dirt bike and taking trips around the United States, Canada, and Mexico on his beamer BMW.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Ernest and Lois Paetsch and his brother, Robert "Bob."
Gary is survived by his wife Debra, Son Will (Mein), Wyatt, Brother Rick and his favorite grandson Damon.
Gary's ashes will be set free, per his request, this summer along the water at the Provo River at our favorite fishing spot.
