Retired Staff Sergeant Garold Kirk "Gary" Webster, was born on June 30, 1951, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, passed away on January 3, 2025, in Huntsville, Alabama.

Holly (Jennifer), of Huntsville; and his sister Olivia Tschappler (née Webster) of Phoenix, Arizona.

Gary will be remembered for his dry humor and signature style—marked by a sturdy mustache, well-starched overalls, and an old green pickup truck that only he could love. A passionate gardener with a penchant for overdoing everything he set out to accomplish, Gary cultivated an impressive array of fruits and vegetables. He was also known for his adventurous palate—adding cayenne pepper to dishes that most would never dare—and for his favorite pastime: giving those around him a good-natured hard time.

Gary’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him best. May his humor and spirit continue to bring smiles to all who remember him.
