Gary Pohlman Obituary
Gary Martin Pohlman, of Saint Peters, MO, passed away Friday, August 18, 2023, at the age of 72. Beloved husband of Karen Gene Pohlman; cherished son of the late Louis F. and Dolores A. Pohlman. Devoted father of Curtis (Melissa) Pohlman, Diane (Grant) Jessen, and the late Gary Pohlman (Christy Clover); loving grandfather of 12; dear brother of Cookie Newsom, Larry Pohlman, Sandy Ueholf, and Penny Pohlman.
Gary was a man of God and very active in his faith. He enjoyed teaching bible study groups and was a member of a Christian motorcycle group. Gary was also a member of the Carpenter's Union #1596, a membership that spans three generations, including his father, himself, and his own son, Curtis.
Gary was somewhat of a “hobby king.” He had a long list of different interests and invested all of himself when something sparked that interest. He was a caring and compassionate man; he always led his family with faith and humor. He was a calm in the storm, could make anyone laugh, and loved each of his family members with a special relationship. He and Karen were blessed with a beautiful life together spanning over 52 years. Gary was deeply loved and greatly missed by all.
A Celebration of Life with visiting at 10:00 am and a service at 11:00 am will be held on Saturday, August 26, 2023 at First Baptist Church Wentzville, 653 Luetkenhaus Blvd, Wentzville, MO 63385.
