Today I said goodbye to a great man. One that impacted our lives greatly. Those of us who knew him, and ache with his passing, know Gary as a Father, Brother, and a Friend. The longer you knew him, the more you realized how remarkable of a man he was, how devoted to his family he was as well as the communities he worked in, and how loyal to his friends he was. How sad it is that a man of such kindness, should now be so suddenly gone. We need to remember while it is natural for us to be sad or sorry he’s gone– it is more important for us to be happy he lived, and that we all got to share part of his life with him.
Love you Gary
Love you Gary

It is good news i have to share about Gary. It is a sad day to endure loss of our friend and family member, please accept my sincere condolences. Gary will be awaken by resurrection to life here with us. God's word says at John 5:28&29 that all those in memorial tombs and graves will hear his voice and come out. Like Lazarus, Gary will join us again, we will enjoy him to our hearts delight and he us. Under the rule that we pray for in the Lord's Prayer Gary and the rest of our loved ones will live on an earth filled with peace and true happiness. It will be good to see Gary again.

I started working with Gary when he first started at Troy. He would truly give you the shirt off his back and I will always smile when I think of that time. I'm so sorry for your family and pray their memories will be their comfort until you meet again.

Gary, you were crazy and funny and still pulled it together as a great diagnostician while making people admire you, especially those of us in the medical field. I remember when they decided PAs in Atchison weren't as good as doctors and it went downhill from there! You had the expertise and mastered that ER! So sad to see you go, thanks for mentoring my son in the medical field and for being a great friend. Loved you, friend!

Gary, there are very few people in this world that leave such a huge impact when their gone. I remember coming to see you at your office in Troy, Kansas when I was just a little girl , you there to help as dad passed of cancer, you where there to help take care of my children and Grandma as she has aged we were loyal as many as your patients. You just knew how to calm any situation. You treated my Grandma as if she was your own mother, she loves you so. May you have many Jewels in your crown today in Glory. The Lord knows you where an amazing servant of his just as we all do.

I went to Gary for an employee physical they required a few years ago. He said "I don't know why I am doing all of these" " I said because we all get to schedule with whoever we want" Well all his co-workers wanted him. That has to tell you something.

I first met Gary through my father-in-law who was his patient. I then started to go see him as well. I like the fact that he was honest & didn't hold anything back. He tried to make sure that you left his office with a smile even if you didn't feel well. He then became my son's Dr. There were only 2 Dr's that my son could talk to, one has moved away & now the other has moved up to heaven. May you rest in peace. You will be greatly missed. Prayers to your family.

I’ve met Gary in passing through the years, through dad and at the clinic. He always had that twinkle in his eye and a close ear.
He was so good with Lou after his cancer surgery and he was not keeping his sugar up. He would sit in the ER and short term stay with us and talk not only as a Dr but as a friend. He was a very CARING individual. He wasn’t pretending or putting on airs when he was on duty. Such a down to earth person. Will miss you dearly, Gary.

The first time I had a conversation with Gary not related to our jobs in the Hospital was way back when he was in remission. I told him that my Mom had Leukemia and passed at the age of 46. Then he said, you must fight whatever illness you have. You can’t give up because life is worth fighting for. I don’t think of my illness was what he said. I also told him that I felt the connection because he is the one and only person I know personally who has the same illness as my Mom and survived it. I was just so happy to see someone I know made it. Gary, you will forever be in my heart. You are loved and you will be missed! Rest In Peace Gary. Heaven gained an Angel in you. Thank you for everything that you’ve done. You are one good man. So long my friend.

Gary will be sorely missed! Back in 1998 he taught me how to read my own MRI’s since my diagnosis was something different than what I was originally told. He literally saved my life! But literally Gary was a GREAT man that always made an impact for the good on all he came in contact with!

Gary meant so much to so many people of our community. He would always go the extra mile for his patients and his colleagues. I know if I ever needed anything for anyone all I had to do was call Gary. Words can not even begin to express how much this community and myself will miss this jolly, honest, and serving man. I hope you have found true peace “Ole Gar”. Until we meet again my dear dear friend ❤️

Met him in 2000 as he challenged me every day to be better. As my mentor, friend, provider, family, boss and co worker, I was lucky to have cross paths in my life with this man. He is truly one of kind and an inspiration to us all. I have BigMacs quick tricks trained in my brain and a lifetime of medical knowledge and tons of experience to carrying with me for a life time. I'm just going to miss you like crazy but that's ok because it means I still love you dearly.

A man who loved what he did. Always ready to listen, and cared deeply about his patients who quickly turned into friends. He will be forever missed. Now you are in the arms of the Great physician, our Lord Jesus Christ. Well done Gary, good and faithful servant, well done.

Our Family at my Wedding
My dad and I.. I am so happy you were able to give me away at my wedding before I started on my journey across the world as a military wife! It meant so much to me.
Thank you for always loving me dad and supporting me on days like today, graduating with my M.S.
You were always being one of my biggest supporters.. I wouldn't have gotten into KUMED and graduated with B.S. if it weren't for you.. Without I would have been lost!

I worked with Gary for many years in Atchison. He was the most kind & gentle giant I've ever known. So proud of both Sean & Erin. I'm sorry I can't make the service for him but please know I'm praying for the two of you, as I did for him each time I was informed of his trials & tribulations. Peace be with you all. He's watching over all now & forever. Loved by so many, never forgotten.

Gary you played such a huge role in many of our lives. You were such a caring and compassionate individual and would always go out of your way to help anyone. No matter what was going on in my life you would do whatever it took to make my life a little easier even if it meant making yours more difficult. You helped instill in me a passion for the outdoors. You loved to ski and helped me get into snowboarding. I can remember learning to snowboard, being pulled behind a four wheeler with a ski rope! Maybe not the best way to learn but it did the trick. Anytime I wanted to till up a chunk of ground to plant a garden, or try my hand growing pumpkins, you were there to be supportive and lend a hand. You always encouraged me to follow my passions and that has helped shape me to be the person I have become. You have touched so many people in your life and I am blessed to have had you play a part in mine. I love you.

Dad I love you more than I could ever put into words but I am going to try! Thank you for buying me my first horse, thank you for supporting me during H.S. when no one else did, thank you for always being a phone call away especially when I was really sick! Thank you for always supporting me and pushing me to be my best, I would have never graduated with my B.S. and M.S. from KUMED if it weren't for you, heck I probably would have never enrolled! Thank you most of all for my biggest gift in life, my husband and son! See a lot of people don't know this dad but you set my husband and I up. You even took us out on our first date, yes at 27 and 28 years old! This story always makes people chuckle and smile.. like you always could do so easily. Thank you for being there for my husband when his dad passed away very unexpectedly at 40 from a heart aneurysm. That was one of your greatest gifts... being there for people when they were sick and hurting. I am keeping my promise my family and I are moving home this week. I wish you could be here with me now like we talked about but It killed me to see you in so much pain. I wish I could have taken all the pain away like you did for me and so many others. I am happy you're not in anymore pain dad and I truly hope you knew that you were loved more than I can put into words and by so many people! I promise to be the best mom to Jameson and instill in him all the amazing things you passed a long to my brother and I such as courage, hard work, compassion for others to name a few. I love you and thank you for being the best dad ever!
