Preceding him in death was maternal great-grandfather, Bob Poling, maternal great-grandmother, Patty Currence, paternal grandparents, Phillip and Barbara Wegman, and maternal grandfather, Daniel Ferrell.
Gary attended Tygarts Valley High school, completing ninth grade. He enjoyed playing in the band and was looking forward to playing football in the coming school year. He enjoyed four wheeling, karaoke, and working on his truck that he was so proud of. Gary was just getting into hunting with his dad and was waiting to get his first deer that got away. He also enjoyed fishing with his Nana, Beckie. Bear loved playing with Hunter and Rylie; carrying on and making them laugh. He got such a kick out of seeing how high he could get them to bounce on the trampoline. When he was in the car with the family, he loved blasting music.
