Publish in a newspaper
He was born on July 29, 1952, in Steubenville, Ohio, and was a son of the late John and Mary Ubrin (Kovach).
Gary grew up in Mingo Junction, Ohio, where he graduated from Mingo High School in 1970. In 1974, he married Mary Catherine (Cathy) Jackson, and together they shared 47 years of marriage until her passing on April 25, 2021. They were blessed with one son, Dr. Eric Ubrin of Weirton, WV.
He dedicated much of his career to Weirton Steel, where he worked as a foreman in the Slab Yard for many years. Later, he continued his strong work ethic with US Airways and Hertz Rental Car.
Known for his outgoing personality, Gary was a true people person who found joy in connecting with others. He enjoyed spending time with his many friends, especially while socializing at the VFW 3716 in Weirton.
Gary will be remembered for his caring and loving nature, as well as his passion for sports. A lifelong fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Pittsburgh Steelers, he rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on his favorite teams.
In addition to his parents and wife, Gary was preceded in death by his sister-in-law, Sue Ubrin (Dotson).
He is survived by his son, Dr. Eric Ubrin; and his brother, John Ubrin of Mingo Jct, OH
A celebration of Gary's life will be announced soon.
