Gary SOLBERG Obituary
Gary was born on Oct. 9th, 1939, in Sandpoint, ID. He graduated from Lewis & Clark High School. He then joined the United States Army and worked at many jobs, but his favorite was co-ownership of Rainbow Electric, as an electrical buyer. He belonged to the IBEW union.
But more than anything, Gary was a devoted father. He loved spending time with family. In his free time, Gary loved hunting, fishing, and golf with his sons.
He is survived by his loving wife, MaryAnne; his children, Gary D., Darin (Mary), Brenda (Jody), Tina, Kathrene; 10 grandchildren; and 19 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by parents, Arnold and Sylvia; sister, Marilou; son Michael; and great-grandson, Taylor. His memory will be cherished by all.
A memorial service will be held on Oct. 4th, 2024, at Holy Cross Cemetery Chapel, at 11:00 am followed by interment.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Shriners Hospital in Spokane, WA. Online memorial page can be found at www.holycrossofspokane.org.
