Gary will be missed by the Fairview Community. We were customers at the Fairview Farm Depot and became friends with Gary. He was always kind, caring and would do anything to help anyone. He knew my family by name and made sure to always greet us and ask how we were doing. Such a great person to know! Prayers to the family. (Chris, Sherry & Ethan Ivy)

once i needed a part to help rebuild a trailer and i asked Gary for a suggestion of where to get it. he invited me to his house and loaned it to me. no cost. i kept it an extra two days and he was gracious and kind. he was the kind of Christian who makes others want to be like Jesus.
