Stephen Gary Obituary

Clarksburg Stephen Charles James Gary (CJ) died unexpectedly at his residence on March 5, 2026.

CJ was born November 15, 1984 and was the perfect completion to Stephen and Judy's family.

CJ is survived by his aunt, Becky (Don) Dixon, of Richmond Dale; cousin, Jessica (Matt) Biggers, of Beavercreek and their children Ellie, Abbie, and Maggie; and close friends, Matt Branham and Slate Kellis.

CJ was a man of few words and a big heart. He enjoyed his time working on the farm and spinning a good story for his friends. CJ loved his family and friends fiercely. He did not have a long life, but it was a life that was spent sharing his heart of gold with those who were lucky enough to meet him.

CJ is preceded in death by his parents Judith & Stephen Gary; brother, Christopher Gary; and grandparents, Ruth and Glenn Anderson.

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions can be made to the Chris Gary Memorial Fund c/o Pickaway County Community Foundation 770 N. Court St., Circleville, OH 43113 or by calling 740-477-6207.

A graveside service will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, March 21, 2026 in Browns Chapel Cemetery. There will be no visitation. Arrangements are under the direction of the WARE FUNERAL HOME.
