Gary Lynn Eddy

He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Joyce Billiter Eddy, whom he married on July 3, 1981.

Gary had a gentle soul and a heart as big as the outdoors he loved so much. He found peace in nature, whether casting a line while fishing, caring for his yard, or spending hours tinkering on cars. A hardworking man with a heart of gold, Gary was known for his kindness and his easy smile. He loved children and had a gift for making everyone feel welcome.  He truly never met a stranger. Those who knew him will remember his generosity, his laughter, and the love he so freely gave to others.
