Gary Don Hobbs

Gary Don Hobbs, 49 of Olathe, KS passed away at Olathe Community Hospital on Sunday March 4th 2018. He is survived by his son, Jacob Don Hobbs, Olathe KS and daughter Lauren R. Hays of Independence MO; His Mother and Step Father, Wynona and Mike Dodd of Grandview, MO and Father and Step Mother Jerry and Frances Hobbs of Purdy, MO and his sister, Tricia Richardson of Lee’s Summit, MO, along with several aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

Gary graduated High School and went into the Military. It was later that he would tell his kids his war stories and life long friends tales of his military career. Once out of the Military Gary married and gained not only a wife but a Daughter as well. Lauren, Gary’s “step daughter” was head over heals for this man. She began calling him dad instantly for the love and compassion he showed her was unjust.

In 2000 Gary was blessed with a Son, Jacob. Having a son meant more than Gary could ever say. Not to mention Jake was the spitting image of Gary. Gary could not wait to share all his amazing stories with his son. Gary and Jake were inseparable. The bond between this father and son was one like any other.

Gary was until his last breath the most caring, compassionate, and loving man. He got to see his Daughter Lauren be married, as well as be apart of the ceremony. Although Gary fell shy of watching Jake graduate we all know that he will be watching over Jake these next few months as well as the rest of his life.

We look back today to celebrate the life of Gary Don Hobbs, He was an amazing Father, Friend, and all around beautiful soul.

Burial will be 10:00 am in Leavenworth National Cemetery. A Memorial Service and luncheon will be at 12:00 pm Tuesday, March 13 at the Central Freewill Baptist Church, 3200 Blue Ridge Ext. Grandview, MO
