Gary Wayne Wire

He served in the US Army and worked for Pierre Funeral Home for 10 years. Gary then went on to become a much-loved fixture at Alexander Funeral Home for 37 years where he headed the Smart & Safe Seniors Program and Escape School Program. He served as a deputy sheriff in Posey County and then as a commander at Marrs Township Volunteer Fire Department. Gary enjoyed biking, fishing with his brothers, and always helped his brother at his flea market. Gary truly had a servant’s heart and always thought of others. In both his personal and professional life, he was always helping someone. He had a massive impact on countless people, and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Gary was preceded in death by his parents; and brother, Terry Wire.

He is survived by his sister, Connie Hommrich (Patrick); brothers, Ronnie Wire (Mary Ellen), Randy Wire, Jimmy “Bubba” Wire, and Kenny Wire (Sandy); life-long companion, Dawn Brumback; and several nieces and nephews.
