Gary Kent Ming

1952 - 2021

Gary Kent Ming, age 69, passed away April 3, 2021 after a courageous battle with Covid. Gary was born in Island Pond on January 6, 1952, son of William & Beth Ming. After graduating from North Country High School in 1971, he worked in the family business for many years as a Polaris service technician and providing propane delivery. Prior to retirement Gary worked construction for JA McDonald. He was a well-known, well-loved handyman. Many of the people he helped often became very close friends. Anyone who knew Gary would agree, If Gary fixed something you knew it would likely never break again. It would almost always be in better shape than at time of purchase.
Gary served his community as a proud member of the Brighton Volunteer Fire Department for 40 years and as a trail groomer with the Brighton Snowmobile Club. As an avid outdoorsman who loved keeping busy, Gary spent much time outside. He enjoyed hunting, ice fishing, snowmobiling and camping. No matter the weather, he would find reasons to be outside
Above all he was a loving and dependable family man. He will be deeply missed. He is survived by his wife Phyllis Ming of Island Pond, his children Nicholas Ming of Island Pond, Jenny Ming of East Nassau NY, Stepdaughter Jennifer Yahyia of Chandler Arizona, his mother Beth Ming of Island Pond, his brother Larry Ming & his wife Sylvie, as well as several grandchildren. Gary was predeceased by his father William Ming and granddaughter Courtney.
