*** Gary was from a little town called Lorne, in Gary's late teen years he adventured off to Toronto. He then worked as a roofer and construction worker. When his health started to decline he decided to move back home. Gary was a Bachelor until his early forties, at which time met the love of his life Ann. Few years later had their only child Amanda.
In 1995 he came to know the Lord and bought his family to the Pentecostal church of Lorne, New Brunswick. Gary attended first Revival temple Bible School Saint John N.B
He loved living for the Lord and preaching.
He was an Ordained Minister, and started his own church in Smith Town, NB in 2019. He also worked alongside Apostolic Watchman church, and currently with ALJC organization. Gary was currently attending Queensbury Christian Center Inc.
Gary also took a PSW course and worked in Special care homes.
Gary was unique, stubborn, and outgoing with an amazing sense of humor. He was a great friend, loving son, husband, father and Papa. Gary loved fishing, hunting, camping, he just loved being outdoors. If you lived close and could smell bonfire burning, you'd know it was Gary burning anything and everything. He loved playing Skipbo with his family even with his "miserable cards" he would get every time. He was known for his Tim Horton's coffee, and enjoyed a Big Mac from McDonald's.
He was also known for his end time movies, reading his Bible and spending time with his three grandchildren. Gary shared many interests and hobbies with each family member; he will be greatly missed by everyone. He will live on in the hearts of his close friends and family.
Until we meet again.
There will be no Public visitation at this time, a graveside service will be held in the spring from the Zealand Cemetery.
