Gary Duane Scheib

Gary Duane Scheib, age 73, passed away at his home in Wayland Monday, September 1, 2025. Gary was a true fan of all things Elvis! He loved his music and would even do impersonations, often unprompted, for his family. He had a jovial and fun personality, and knew there was a “correct way” (which was often his way) to eat certain foods. His family would often joke that he should write a book on how to eat different foods the “correct” or “Gary” way. His sense of humor would brighten up any room with laughter. Most importantly, he loved his family and was very proud of his kids and the family he and Robin built together.

Gary will be remembered by his wife of 38 years, Robin Scheib; children Kirk Scheib of Arizona City, AZ, Scott (Jennifer) Scheib of Holland, MI, Rachel (Jason) Workman of Byron Center, MI, Seth Scheib (Chyna Schut) of Grandville, MI; grandchildren Kayla (Mack) Gibbs, Kimberly Hull, Elizabeth Scheib, Alexis Scheib, Daisy Workman; great-grandchild, Kenley Gibbs; siblings Sandra (Greg) Smith of Dorr, MI, Diane Smith of Dorr, MI; in-laws Vicki (Greg) Graczyk of Canadian Lakes, MI, Valerie (Bob) Bergstrom of Wyoming, MI, Rita (John) Arce of Cedar Park, TX, Merle (Barb) Shoemaker of Wyoming, MI; mother-in-law, Rochelle Roe of Wyoming, MI; special friend, Rod Mauchmar; and Joy and Jena from Wings of Hope.

Gary is preceded in death by his parents Duane and Laurene Scheib; and father-in-law, Merle Shoemaker.

Per his wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life visitation will be held from 2-4PM on Saturday, September 20, 2025 at the Wayland VFW Post #7581, 735 S. Main St., Wayland, MI 49348.
