After many years with AEP, he went on to work for Marfork Coal Company where he ran dozer up until his retirement.
Gary was known for having a huge heart and making everyone around him laugh. He spent most of his days being with at least one of his children or grandchildren, going to his grandson TJ's baseball games, where he was the BIGGEST fan, or hanging out with his dogs who he adored the most.
Gary was proceeded in death by his father and mother Maxwell and Nellie Williams and both of his maternal and paternal grandparents.

Special friends Rachel Dunlap and Terry Lang. He had many close friends who he considered family, and he was uncle and pawpaw to most that knew him.
Gary had the biggest heart of anyone we ever met. He took in the homeless and gave his last dollar to the hungry. He never found wrong in anyone he met and always said no one knows the back story of a person's life. He always had his hand out to help anyone who needed it. He was truly his kids and grandkids' best friend, and he will be loved and missed by each one of them until the day they meet again.
Services will be held at O'Dell Funeral Home located at 1301 Fayette Pike Montgomery, WV 25136 on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, visitation from 5 - 7 p.m., and the funeral will begin at 7 p.m.
