"It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life."
- Terry Pratchett
Gary had a life filled with giving and receiving plenty of love. The "flash" was surely a supernova.

Death may have ended Gary's life, but his memory and the love that you, his family and friends, have for him lives on. His love for his family is by far what I, personally, most admired about him.
All my deepest sympathy and hope for a gentle but swift healing of the heart to you.
Love, Kim, Scott, and Piper.

Thinking of when you two came down & you rode with Ray and me with Gary to meet up @ that hanger place. As Gary & I drove off, we were catching up & conversations were amount us. Then Gary looked at me & said "where are going?" I then looked back at him with that dumbfounded blonde stare & said "I thought you knew" So here we were in the hood we grew up in yet neither of us knew where we were. Then he started in with his (dry humor) jokes. I couldn't stop laughing as we drove around aimlessly. Yes we somehow managed to find you guys but the best part of that night was the halarious drive with Gary
