Gary proudly declared himself a 5th generation butcher growing up in Shreve’s Meat Market, moving on to a 40-year career with Cargill, and selling his locally famous BBQ on Saturdays around town. As a kid, Gary vacationed in the Colorado mountains at the good ol’ Yank Ye Inn, and continued that tradition with his wife, kids and grandkids. After retirement, Gary enjoyed drinking beer with friends, making jerky and driving his girls around in the Chevelle. Gary never went anywhere without running into someone he knew, even at the Atlanta airport en route to one of his and Sandy’s trips to Aruba.
Gary is preceded in death by his father, Bud Shreve, mother, Doris Raum, father, Tom Raum and sister, Susie Allen.
Gary leaves behind his wife of 50 years, Sandy, son, Gavin, daughter, Neelie Feld (Dominic), cherished granddaughters, Hannah and Harper Feld who will forever miss their beloved “Popeye”, sister Donna Shaffer, and countless friends.
Celebration of Life Service will be at 3:00 p.m., Wednesday, February 16, 2022 at Resthaven Mortuary Chapel.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.ResthavenMortuary-Cemetery.com for the Shreve family.
