Gary MCMORRIS Obituary
Gary was born on April 30, 1942, in Sidney, MT to parents Paul and Amy McMorris. Gary married Bonnie Beck while they were in college at Western, in Dillon, MT. After graduation, they began careers in Whitehall. Gary taught High School English and coached multiple sports. He then enjoyed a lengthy career in sales until retirement. In addition to sales, Gary's other passion was golf.
Bonnie and Gary lovingly nurtured well over 100 nieces and nephews over their 59 years of marriage. Gary was a testimony of God's love where he found a special calling in St. John's Lutheran Church in Spokane. His family and friends will remember his interest in their lives. He had a fun sense of humor.
Gary is survived by his wife Bonnie of Spokane, WA. He is preceded in death by his parents, brothers, and sisters.
The Celebration of Life is scheduled on March 26 at 1:00 PM at St. John's Lutheran Church, with a reception to follow. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Gary's Life.

We are so sad to hear that Gary passed. Gary and I worked together for a few years and Jim and I always considered he and Bonnie friends. May he rest in peace and may Bonnie find comfort in precious memories.
