Gary Garman
Gary Lee Garman, 81, of Napoleon passed away in the early morning of January 3rd 2022.
Gary was born in Celina, Ohio on July 26th, 1940, to the late Lee and Pauline (Kettle) Garman. He married Sharon Laux on January 23, 1960 and she survives.
Gary worked in sales for associated software consultants and retired in 2010. He enjoyed spending time with family, traveling the country (traveling to all but three states), walking in the park with his wife and their two dogs, collecting thousands and thousands of sports cards, mini golfing, and eating tenderloin sandwiches and French waffles at the county fairs. Gary always had a smile on his face and loved to talk to anyone and everyone. He always wanted to be on the go and doing something. Gary was a genuine generous soul donating to many different organizations and helping anyone he could. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Gary is survived by his wife of 61 years Sharon, sons Joe (Ronda) Garman, Jeff (Amanda) Garman, Jay Garman, and daughter Melissa (Greg) Knapp; grandchildren: Valerie (Aaron) Watson, Nathan (Cammy) Garman, Chelsea (Benjamin) Wagner, Sara (Kenneth) Price, Hanna (Alec) Knapp; great grandchildren: Max Watson, Grant Watson, Rhett Watson, and Alivia Wagner; brothers Tom Garman and Ron (Caroline) Garman.
Gary was preceded in death by his parents Lee and Pauline Garman; grandson Cody Garman; brother Randy Garman; and sister-in-law Andy Garman.
The family will be holding a celebration of Gary's life from on Saturday March 5th 2022 at St. John Lutheran Church Celina, Ohio from 10:30am - 2:00pm. The church is located at 1100 N Main Street Celina, Ohio 45822.
