Deepest Sympathy, Love, and Prayers to Vada and family from Darlene McPeters
Dear Vada and family,
My heart is broken for you. I loved Gary like a son, he was so special. May God give you peace and comfort in the days to come.
Vada and family. I am truly so sorry to hear this . Such a shock. God be with you and yours during this time and in the many years ahead. I know the kids are in the best hands with you and Tisha. You are heavy on my mind and in my prayers
When you begin to see your classmates and peers fill the pages of obituaries, it is a sobering reminder of how very fragile life is. Gary was a great friend and a terrific person. His absence here in this world will make life not nearly as sweet for many. But I am convinced Heaven’s choirs are louder today than they were yesterday because of his homecoming. Until we meet again, fait winds and following seas brother. Sincere condolences to the family. May God’s love and comfort find you in the days and years to come…..
Vada I just heard about Gary and my heart is sending love to you and his children.. I’m so sorry. I remember him coming to Roses and seeing you, he was so special ..God Bless You ! Your in my thoughts and prayers always.. My girls are sending you their love too..
My deepest and most sincerest condolances to Gary’s family, friends and fellow classmates. I am devastated to learn of yet another classmate lost on earth! Til we meet again my friend!
I didn’t know Gary, but I went to school with Brandy. I’m so sorry to hear of this and are keeping all the loved ones here on earth, in my thoughts. I hope you all grieve however each of you need to. I live out of the country but really hope people there will surround you guys with love and support. I’m just so sorry for this pain.

RIP Gary. You were truly one of the most genuine people I have ever met. It was my pleasure to know you. My heart breaks for his mother and especially for the children All of garys family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Vada, Cyleigh, and Daellen, it was my privilege to have worked for Gary at Meritor. After the death of his wife, Gary and I had some deep and meaningful conversations about our faith in Christ and I can say with absolute confidence that Gary’s faith was strong. When Brandy passed away, Gary lost his best friend, wife and mother of his two precious children. That’s enough to make most people waiver in their faith. But not Gary! His faith was strong. He knew that he would again see Brandy and more importantly see our risen Lord and Savior face to face. Gary knew that even though the circumstances were very difficult, he found great joy in his position in Christ. It is my hope and prayer that you will grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Valda you have been such a blessing to Gary, Cyleigh and Daellen. With Gods help, you raised a good son that grew up to be a Godly man. Something that this world has precious few of. I am confident that you will continue in effort that has been given you. That you will finish raising Cyleigh and Dallen in a way that they too will share the saving faith of their mom and dad. As the sudden passing of Gary and Brandy show, saving faith in Christ is the most important decision that a person can make and there is no benefit in delaying decision. Gary and Brandy are having a fantastic day today and every day for eternity. It is my hope and prayer that God will cover you with His grace and peace as you continue to live this earthly life.
Vada, I am so very sorry about your son. I am thinking about you during this time. Prayers and love for all the family.
Gary you will be missed. I can’t help but remember the time You, Tim and Matt took the road trip to Rockingham. Such a giving person, and never asked for anything in return. Prayers go out to your children and family.
Vada I’m SO so sorry! I was gonna come to the service but I’m sick with a cold on top of my chronic illness and moving. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to hug you in person and pay my respects to Gary. I loved that youngen so much! My thoughts and my prayers are with you and those precious kids! Gary was a great man! I love you!
