I will miss you always! Here is a photo of a special time from when I was young. Uncle Gary gave the best piggy back rides. Uncle Gary and I at Auntie Linda's wedding!

Gary was my first career mentor. He taught me some of the most important qualities of an architect that I still carry in my work attitude today.  To only name a few:
• Gary was a good friend - He had that yellow sunshine personality that made working with him never boring. I loved talking to Gary just about everything. I remember the trip we took as a team to Bear Valley. He took us snowshoeing and we had crazy fun that weekend! What kind of boss would invest so much into his team and he enjoyed it while doing it. Even after I was no longer with BCA, I would visit him and we would grab a sandwich at Which Wich down the street and catch up.
• Gary also loved to learn - He expressed no pride and super down to earth. He loved to explore new gadgets, new software to make life and work better and more efficient. Gary could get into the details and get nerdy at times but that's what made him so good at what he did. Gary had this Architect's Portable Handbook. It's twice the thickness as when he first bought it because he kept adding the latest version to it. He would print them out, carefully cut them to fit into this 5x8 dimension and tape over the old version. I often helped myself to his office and referenced that book from time to time because it's so resourceful. It's like the architectural bible that you can't even buy in the store. One day, he walked by and said: "Hey Angel, you want this? I got a new one." I was ecstatic because he gifted me with not only knowledge but something he's been building for years.
I feel truly sad knowing I can no longer hang out with him. He was such a great boss, mentor and friend to me. A great architect who dedicated his life to building great architecture. He left a legacy that's hard for the rest of us to measure up but he also inspires us to keep persevering and grow. I pray that he is chillin' in heaven with his bikes now.  I miss him and will always remember who poured knowledge and care into me when it all started.

My Friend Gary,
You were one of a kind.  We worked together for over 10 years and in the last few years, I feel I really got to know you and what the important things in your life were.
You loved to ride your bike and you always enjoyed tinkering around and fixing things.  They always say one mans junk is another mans treasure...you always seemed to find the treasure in everything!
I will truly miss seeing you come into the office everyday with your bike helmet and neon yellow vest on....ready to start your day!

You were a true gem Gary and I will miss you terribly.  Until we meet again my friend.

My dear wonderful friend and teaching partner Gary Moyer (affectionately a.k.a.) 'Moybaggs' is gone but certainly not forgotten. I want to honor him with this brief (limited and loving) tribute to my 'Brother'. Gary and I had parallel paths in our early Vanguard years as Marching members; Young eager Marching instructors; house mates; Camping buddies; forever friends even through time and distance. Gary was unique, special, strange (lovingly said) and just all round great!!  His life path made perfect sense to me... All except the leaving too soon. I guess God needed someone to fix something in Heaven or to teach better M&M technique to His Angels. Gary is the perfect person to do all that.  He could fix anything because He taught himself everything by determination and a HUGE can do spirit. Nothing would stand in his way. Gary was instrumental in establishing the foundation of excellence in M&M technique for the Vanguard. This can still be seen to this day. He taught himself car fixing; drafting; bicycle everything; even Camping. Gary brought together our old marching team of Gary, Pete, Zap, & Me for "adventures in camping" that were epic. Forever to be cherished.... Never to be forgotten! I will always remember his wonderful spirit, positive attitude, helpful ways. He was my good friend and I miss him dearly. All of us Vanguard family members know we have our own.... 'little man in the hat' 
to see us through lifes good times and hard times. Gary's little man had a great ride on a Super Vanguard Stallion!! 
Until we meet again....
                 I love you Gary!




I am a coworker of Gary and I am honored and been  blessed to have known you Gary.  He was truly a great mentor, adviser  and a friend.   Our team will surely miss his sense of humor and its heart beat.  Farewell to the guy who made every day seem like Sunday with his funny moments  and enthusiasm.  I will include him and his Family in my daily prayers. 

Gary, we met when I was still a teenager, you in the North and me in the South. Every time our corps paths crossed, I tried to make a rehearsal so I could watch.  When I was with Spirit, I did the same. You were one of those remarkable teachers driven toward excellence. Your dedication and love for the SCV is untouched. You are an icon, my friend and will always live within our hearts. Aloha ʻoe, Gary. Until we meet again.

Uncle Gary you had a special place in my heart and will be missed greatly. You will never be forgotten!



People who inspire and motivate you by doing something they Love, leave everlasting impressions on our souls. Gary Moyer is one of those persons to me. I was fortunate enough to have marched in the Vanguard 1976-80 when Gary was instructing M&M. His passionate, positive and personal approach to teaching was infectious and productive. 
Gary left such an  impression on my soul that I wanted be like him in so many ways. 
After my age out year, my desire came true when Gail called me and asked if I wanted to instruct M&M. It is my hopes that the inspiration and Love that Gary gave me was  passed on to the members who I had the privilege to instruct for 4 years. 
Gary Moyer,  you are in my heart and in my soul forever.
