Gary Allen Haack

August 4, 1941 – September 29, 2021

After 80 years here, Gary has moved into the mansion Jesus has been preparing for him. He has run the course, finished the race and kept the faith. He has heard the words he has waited so long to hear, “well done, good and faithful servant…., enter into the joy of your LORD”. Gary is in heaven singing praises to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Gary Haack was born to Gottlieb and Mabel Haack in Chicago Heights, Illinois.

Gary graduated from Snohomish High School in 1959. Then he joined the Air Force in 1960. While in the Air Force he met his future wife, Marilyn. They moved back to Snohomish in 1968. Gary worked for GTE as a Radio Frequency Engineer most of his life, trouble shooting for five western states and Alaska.

Gary loved Jesus and served as an elder, Bible teacher and by going on short term missions. He was a walking, talking, living Bible and a man of prayer. Gary’s hobbies included mountain climbing, model railroading, ham radio, hiking, gold dredging, bee keeping, singing, cross country skiing, running, and fishing. Gary was a skilled craftsman who could figure out how to build or repair anything. He helped to build Zion Lutheran School and Snohomish Community Church. He was a kind, generous man who gave freely of his time and skills. He loved his God, his wife, his boys, his family and friends. His memories will be forever special and precious, and he will be forever loved.
