Gary Yingling

Gary Yingling, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and pillar of his community, passed away on April 22, 2025, at the age of 70. Born on December 6, 1954, in Akron, Ohio, Gary lived a life defined by faith, family, and an unwavering commitment to those he loved.

A hardworking and God-fearing man, Gary was a role model to all who knew him. His passion for sports shone through in his enthusiastic coaching of his daughters' teams, where he instilled values of teamwork, perseverance, and kindness. Gary's friendly and compassionate nature made him a beloved figure, always ready with a warm smile or a word of encouragement. He enjoyed spending time with friends and family, playing cards, and listening to music.

Gary's greatest joy was his family. He leaves behind his faithful wife of 48 years, Nancy Yingling; his cherished daughters, Jessica Yingling and Jenna Miramontes, who were the light of his life; his adored grandchildren, granddaughters, Adylynn Cordrey, Sailor Miramontes, and Paisley Miramontes, and grandson, Titus Miramontes, each of whom he doted on with boundless affection; his brother, Rick Yingling; his sister, Kathy Arnold; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Gary was placed on hospice care with Heartland Hospice in late January of 2025, and they, along side his wife, Nancy, cared for him faithfully until his last day.

Gary's legacy of love, faith, and dedication will live on in the hearts of his family and all who had the privilege of knowing him. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, May 16, 2025, at Westgate Chapel, with visitation from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m., and a service from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m.

Rest in peace, Gary-you were a true example of a life well-lived.
