Gary Keith Henry
Gary Keith Henry, aged 79 years of Moose Jaw, SK, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 8th, 2020 – a beautiful fall day, perfect for hunting, holding his beloved wife’s hand, after a valiant fight with dementia. Gary was married to his loving wife Jeanne for 55 years and together, they became parents to 3 wonderful children: Keith (Marian), Lisa (Jamie) and Scot. Gary and Jeanne have 5 grandchildren who will remember him fondly: Alex (Emily), Matthew (Erica), Kyle, Ryan, and Tyllar. Gary is also survived by his younger brother, Terry.
Gary proudly served his country for 55 years, including the Canadian Air Force, Air Cadets, and Commissionaires. Besides his family, his passion was guns and hunting, which led him to open G.K. Gunsmithing in 1994, in the basement of his home until the shop was ready in the garage. He made many good friends through his work and customers.
A special thank you to Cheryl, Joyce and Shelley; Virginia, Lisa, Cheryl, Brinda, Myles, Mary, Sarah, Kaitlyn and all the other wonderful staff for their loving care and friendship they shared with Gary and Jeanne during his time at Extendicare. In keeping with Gary’s wishes, a private gathering for family and friends will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Gary’s name may be made to a charity of one’s choice. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Gary McDowell, Funeral Director 306-693-4550
My condolences to the family of Gary. I knew him well when he was with the Air Cadets. May your memories help you in this time of sorrow.
My deepest condolences to Jeanne and family. Gary was truly a good man. He worked with my Dad (Mike) on base and they became hunting partners. I have found memories of the two of them (eventually 3 when Tarry joined them) heading out together. When I moved back and ran into Gary for the first time he knew exactly who I was and always made sure to say hi and a quick friendly chat when he saw me out and about. Gary will be truly missed.
Dear Family, I was so sorry to hear about your loved one. Losing someone we love can be the most difficult time in our life. But our Creator tells us at Psalm 34:18 that he is aware of our pain and loss it says ” Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit.” I know you have many wonderful memories, may these ease what you are going through and bring you comfort also.
So very sorry for your families loss. I worked with Gary in Construction Engineering 15 Wing Moose Jaw. Gary was easy to get along with and always a gentleman. He will be missed by many that had the pleasure of being a part of his life. My sincerest condolences.
My sincere condolences Jeanne on your loss. Gary was a good man, trustworthy and kind. I always enjoyed hearing about the great times he had on cruises with you.
My sincere sympathy to the Henry family. I worked with Jeanne many years ago at Zellers. I am very sorry to hear this news.
