Gary L. Elliott

Gary Lee Elliott, born March 30, 1946 in Battle Creek, MI passed away December 24, 2021 surrounded by family. Gary was a resident of Louisiana over 40 years. In that time, he worked for Ethyl Corporation and Ferrara Fire Fighting Equipment before retiring from the Diocese of Baton Rouge.

Gary was a man of action-he had a strong work ethic, provided for his family, and fought daily physical issues. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and picking on the ones he loved. Gary never met a stranger. We will miss his laugh, his bad jokes, and just his very presence. The family would like to thank Dr. Rigby, Dr. Surakanti, and the staff at the Heart and Vascular Critical Care unit at OLOL for the care and support Gary and his family received.
