Gary Wayne Trudeau

Trudeau, Gary W., age 45, of Rhinelander, died Sunday, May 8, 2011. He was born August 9, 1965 in Milwaukee, the son of Nyland and Lynndy (Lego) Trudeau. Everyone knew that Gary was the kind of guy who loved his family. He absolutely loved his grandbabies and was proud to have them in his life. He had a special place in his heart for everyone, and when someone needed him, he never hesitated to be there. He was always the life of the party, and he always made sure everyone knew he was there by his goofy laugh and the funny sounds he would make. He loved his hunting, fishing, and outdoor life. His four-wheeling trips, Harley rides, and camping trips were always a must. Gary will truly be missed by all if us.

Gary is survived by his wife, Terri (Vassar) Trudeau,

two daughters; Kim (Joe) Barribeau, and Kayla Trudeau, all of Rhinelander,

his grandchildren; Mae, Arlo, and Xxaiver,

his siblings; Shelli (Kevin) Smith,

Mike (Diane) Jusitce,

Sherry, Greg, Kathy, and Jesse Trudeau.

He was preceded in death by his parents.
