Gary Selleck Obituary

Gary Berle Selleck, 79, of Bath, NC, passed away peacefully on August 27, 2025

Born on May 5, 1946, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Gary was the son of Francis Mary (Lane) and Beryl Aaron Selleck. He lived a life marked by hard work, humor, and love. Known for his quick wit, craftsmanship, woodturning, and his deep appreciation for the sea, Gary touched many lives with his talents and kindness. He retired as President of ShuttersDirect.

Gary is survived by his devoted wife, Elizabeth (Betty) Selleck; his children, Daniel Selleck (Michelle), Jennifer Clark (Dwight), and Gordon Selleck (Linda); grandchildren, Callie Byrd (Gary), Kathryn, Jason, and Carolyn; great-grandchildren, Madelyn and Brantley; along with many other relatives and dear friends who will forever cherish his memory.

A service to celebrate Gary's life will be held at a later date in Bath, NC. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Liver Foundation (liverfoundation.org) or St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Bath, NC.
