Prayers to the family
Prayers of peace and comfort for your family! I am blessed to have known him.
I worked with Gary in Alabama and later at RBC in Rocky Mount. I helped him get the house in Leggett ready to move into many years ago. He and Jackie were the best of people. Gary could tell a joke and had so many he never repeated one. Jackie was one of the sweetest people to know. Both of them would help anyone. The world is a sadder place without them in it. Our prayers are with the family. RIP Gary and Jackie.
It only seems like it was only yesterday we where all together having a good time at many of the church socials we had at Old Ridgecrest Baptist In Alabama… Rip Jackie and Gary… Dennis and Marsha Parker
May God Bless and comfort your family in this sorrowful time. We know you were dedicated to them, as well as your wonderful wife, Jackie. We will miss you both but we also rejoice in knowing that you are with the Lord that you love now and will hurt no more. Thank you for your friendship, military service, and constant witnessing as a Brother in Chist during your life here on God’s Creation. We will see you again someday. In Him, Steve and Cathy Brower
Prayers for the families.

My deepest sorrow for family. What a senseless tragedy! May God comfort you 3 sons during your great loss. God bless all.
My deepest condolences to the family and friends. The God of tender mercies and comfort knows the pain and grief we experience when losing a loved one. He promise mankind through the scriptures according to Rev 214 to eliminate sickness and death forever. JW.Org is an educational website which provides comfort for those who are grieving, many titles such as What happens when our Loved ones Die Does God care, and a lovely video, Is there hope for the dead May the scriptures bring you comfort.
