Garry Rush Obituary
He continued his passion for gymnastics by becoming a coach and owning his own gymnastics business in Springfield, Missouri and York, Nebraska, where he mentored and taught children in need. He returned to Colorado in 2001.
Garry was a loving father to his daughters Kelisa and Brienna Rush. He is survived by his brothers Michael Rush (Janet) and Chad Rush (Erica), his mother Barbara and several aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
Garry loved sharing his beautiful voice, his kind heart, and his faith whenever he could. Garry never met a stranger and was immediately loved by those he met.
He will be sorely missed.
Memorial Service 12:00PM, Saturday, January 10, 2015 at The Springs Funeral Services, 3115 East Platte Avenue.

I new Gary in high school, although a year behind him, he was a truly gifted person. He was easy to talk to, and would often times talk to me, and cheer me up, when I was being picked on. I am so sorry for your loss, and hope that you all can take comfort in the joy and happiness that he brought to so many people, throughout his lifetime. May God bless you, and help you in this time of need.

I happened upon the obituaries looking for another friend and found this one! It has been several years since I saw Garry but will never forget the "awe" I felt when watching him in gymnastics! He was a very kind person and am sure will be greatly missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family!
