A loving husband and father, Gary cherished traveling with his wife, Virginia, and spending time near the water. His favorite place was their home on the lake in Ten Mile, Tennessee, which he affectionately called his “home port.”

He is survived by his wife, Virginia Lubinski; children, Dena Brown (Steve), Wendy Elliott, April Ingram, Bryan Mathews, Terry Mathews, and Tracy Mathews; grandchildren Hannah, Emily, Braeden, Addison, Joshua, and Samantha; and many step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In his honor, his family encourages others to take the scenic route home and enjoy the views along the way. A private family celebration will be held.
