I grew up with Gary. He was my brother's friend and I saw him often. I remember him as a sweet kid always smiling. He shared the love of racing with my brothers as did his older brothers David and Tony. He was loved by many and will be missed dearly.

Gary was a good friend since we was children used to pick him up in the mornings to go to school and his mama always had to stick her head out the door in  a  real country voice he'll be there in a minute. Love them days . Lot of fond memories he will be missed. Sad to lose another great friend. Prayers for him and his family


So sad to hear about Gary, my condolences and prayers to the family.   Some of my best high school memories are hanging out with Gary , talking about cars and doing a little racing.  He would kid me about driving a Fix Or Repair Daily mustang but it was in always in fun.  He will be missed but his memory will remain in everyone's heart that got to meet him.

Deepest Sympathy, To Michele and family. Lived in the neighborhood. we all to use hang out at the Krystal. And the drag strip. And hoped no one got caught drag racing on lynch road. Gary would take my brother Keith to the drag strip and also taught him how to punch the punching bag. RIP     Bonnie Cranfill  and Keith McGuire
