For more than 40 years, Gary worked as a self-employed landscaper, bringing steady dedication and pride to his work. He was most at ease outdoors and was known for his love of fishing and hunting—simple, enduring pursuits that reflected a deep appreciation for the natural world. Just as memorable was his ability to lift the spirits of those around him, often finding a way to bring laughter and a smile.
Gary is survived by his children, Megan Eash and Daniel King; and his siblings, Guy Eash and Rose Steffien. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dorothy and George Eash; his brother, George Robert “Bobby” Eash; and his ex-wife, Anne King.
