Gary Lee Gardenhire

February 26, 1955 - July 16, 2024

Cary, North Carolina - Gary Lee Gardenhire, 69, of Cary, passed away peacefully on July 16, 2024.

Gary married Patricia "Patty" Lynn Hall, the love of his life, on October 9, 1982. They enjoyed a full and happy marriage for more than 41 years, building a large family of four daughters, sons-in-law, and 4 granddaughters whom they loved deeply.

Gary was preceded in death by his father, Henry Tate Gardenhire, and his mother, Flora Nell Gardenhire. We rejoice in knowing he is also experiencing a first meeting of his unborn grandson.

I was sad to follow along as you all cared for you Daddy in his last days. He was a special man and we were all blessed to know him.

I'm also sad because I was out of the state and unable to tell you all directly what he, and all of you, mean to me.
