Gary Marshal Sarver, 81, of Mooresville, Indiana, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, at the Franciscan Hospice House in Indianapolis. He was born on February 14, 1943, in Pana, Illinois, to the late Verlin Sarver and Becky (Allen) Chastain, and was raised alongside John Chastain.

Gary graduated from Arsenal Technical High School in Indianapolis with the class of 1961. He furthered his education at Butler University, where he earned a Degree in Electrical Engineering.
