four wheelers continued through his life.

Music was a significant part of his life. He enjoyed playing the guitar and fiddle, leading

One of his passions was photography. He loved capturing wildlife and landscapes,
especially in the Jarbidge area. Gary had a fondness for the spring flowers that bloomed
in Jarbidge, it was one of his favorite places to go. You could say Jarbidge was a
second home to Gary.

Cramer, and many nephews and nieces. He is proceeded in death by his parents
