Gary Manthei Obituary
August 29, 1956 – January 15, 2015
The Lord called Gary Lynn Manthei home Wednesday, January 15th 2015. Gary has left his mark across Bryan and College Station with his signs and artwork, which are beloved by all who knew him and his craft. He painted the lives of all those he met with the joy and genuine passion for God that drove him.
He was an honest, open, and loving man who yearned to share the wisdom of God's word with everyone. He lived for his wife and family with joy and happiness and was true to his calling; he turned strangers into friends, and friends into family. Gary enjoyed and appreciated God's beauty in nature more than most, and he loved serving his community through Boy Scouts and his church.
He was truly a man after God's own heart, and while his family mourns, they are comforted knowing that he is with his Lord.
He was born in Bryan, Texas on August 29th, 1956 to Ann and Kurt Manthei, and Graduated from Texas A&M University. He is preceded in death by his parents Ann Rychlik Rogers and Kurt Manthei. He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Carol Manthei; his daughter, Jenny Manthei; two sons, Thomas and Daniel Manthei; brother and sister-in-law, Kenneth and Fran Manthei; and brother, Bradley Manthei; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends as close as family.
Visitation is from 6-8 p.m. on Saturday January 17th at Memorial Funeral Chapel, 1515 South College Ave, Bryan Texas. The funeral will be at 2:00 Sunday afternoon, January 18th at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 3333 Oak Ridge Drive in Bryan, with a graveside service at Bright Light Freewill Baptist Cemetery immediately following.
