Gary Grimes

- - Gary Grimes…Father, Son, Brother, Uncle, Friend and Healer. Passed away Sept. 6 at his brother's home in Monterey,Ca surrounded by his family. Gary lived in San Benancio and Salinas through high school then spent the rest of his life in Ketchum,Id where he loved hiking, skiing and being part of the great outdoors. Gary was a friend to all that knew him.

Gary loved spending time with his children Jamie and Chris and never failed to be a shoulder to lean on to any that needed it.

Gary is survived by his mother Ellen, brother Carl, daughter Jamie(Forrest) Hall, son Chris, nieces Jenny and CarrieMia, Granddaughter Dara, grand niece and nephew Avalon and Miles and countless friends who became family. His greatest joy was helping those in need and he spent most his life doing just that. He did make a difference in all our lives.

May you rest in eternal peace Gary.

We love you.
