January 11, 1954 – September 25, 2025
Air Force Veteran, husband, father, grandfather, friend: these words fail to encompass all that he was. Gary loved motorcycles that progressed with his age: raced motorcycles (mixed with a little jet fuel), Goldwing & sidecar (family time), then a 4-wheeler (later years). A true outdoors-man he loved hunting, fishing, & camping & built THE best campfires. He had a zest for life only surpassed by his devotion to his family. Gary is survived by his high school sweetheart & wife of 52 years, Georgian, children: Jason (Amy) Kalow, Shannon (Russ) Coffey, grandchildren: Alexandra Kalow & Jaxon Coffey. Because of health issues he left snowy Steamboat and move to the Pacific NW to be closer to family. A Celebration of Life will be held in WA State.
