Gary Gartry Obituary

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Gary Gartry, one of the kindest and gentlest souls. He died peacefully on May 11, surrounded by his loving wife and children. Gary grew up in West Vancouver and married the love of his life, Ginger, on June 24/66. Gary was the proud father of Candice (Andy) and Rob (Eugenia) and a cherished grandfather to Zoe, Guada, and Lola. He was a beloved brother-in-law, sharing a close bond with Shelby (Garry) and Shelley (Bill), and was a loyal friend to many. Gary held fond memories of his time curling at Capilano Winter Club with Mike and Carolyn, sharing his favourite scotch and solving the world's problems with Jack and Christine, and evenings on the patio with Ron and Laurie, savouring even more scotch and seeing who could be more obnoxious. A celebration of Gary's life will be held on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at 1:30pm at First Memorial Funeral Services Fraser Heights Chapel, 14835 Fraser Highway, Surrey, BC (please note that there is ongoing heavy construction on Fraser Highway). In lieu of flowers, donations in Gary's memory may be made to the BC SPCA.
