Gary Prunty Obituary
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun;
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

On behalf of my mother, Ms.Juanita Johnson, and our entire family, we wish to express our deepest condolences to you during this difficult time.
We hope you find comfort in the words of 2 Timothy 4:7: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." These words serve as a powerful testament to a life well-lived and a legacy of faith that will surely continue to impact all who knew Gary.
Please know that we are thinking of you all and sending our deepest sympathy, love, and support. We are so sorry for your loss and are keeping your family in our prayers.
With sincere sympathy,

I have no wkrds,I.do.have a prayer. May God bless your family and the memories we all share about your life. All the days of basketball and swimmimg. The laughs,the triumphs and the pitfalls. It wasnt perfect but it was us. The way we grew up and grew together left a mark on all of us. I will cherish that for all of us "Numbers" kids. Rest well my friend.
Cupe.
