Gary David Ramey, 75, of Huntington, West Virginia, formerly of Ashland, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 17, 2025, at St. Mary's Hospital.
Born on August 17, 1949, in Ashland, Gary was the beloved son of the late Garrett and Edmona Ramey. He was a longtime member of the South Ashland United Methodist Church, now known as Cornerstone Methodist Church, where he found comfort in his faith.
Gary dedicated many years of his life working as a skilled baker at Big Bear Grocery, a role he took great pride in. After retiring from Big Bear, he continued to stay active in the community through his work with Stor-A-Way Storage in Raceland.
Gary will be remembered as a quiet, kind, and honest man. Though he lived a humble life, he touched others through his steadfast character and gentle spirit. He is survived by his close and loyal friend, Garry R. Metz of Huntington, whose friendship meant a great deal to him.
In keeping with Gary's wishes, a private graveside service will be held at Ashland Cemetery, where he will be laid to rest beside his parents.
Online condolences may be shared with the family at www.mfhfuneralhome.com. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Miller Funeral Home, Ashland.
