A rustic, country man himself, Gary met his perfectly polished companion, the love of his life, Charlotte White, and married her on May 31, 1968 in Kechi, Kansas. For many years he was an inspector in the aircraft field, working for Cessna. He also was a member of Mason Lodge 110 for over 60 years. Gary was big in 4-H as a young boy which consisted of showing cattle. He served in the United States Army as a Sargent and was stationed in Heidelberg, Germany. He trained horses in his younger years. He worked hard in many different areas of his life but his family was always first priority.
While there are certainly those who passed before him, Gary is survived by his loving wife, Charlotte; son, Craig L. Colbert; daughter, Kimberly L. Moss; brother, Vernon L. Colbert; sister, Karen Musson; grandchildren, Kaylee Moss, Kameron Moss, Tasha Moss, and Amy Baron; great-granddaughter, Halee Baron; several cousins; and his favorite fur-children, Bandit and Chloe.
A come-and-go visitation will take place on Saturday, November 21, 2020 from 12-5 p.m. at Resthaven Mortuary. Private family services will be held at a later date.
