Gary Geske

Gary passed away on October 13, 2026, at the age 65 years. He is the twin brother of Billy, who passed away in 2012.

Gary worked for Olive Garden for 36 years and was well liked by both staff and guests.

Kindness is the strongest form of power in the universe. At work I saw kindness because I want to, not because I have to - that’s why I’m so famous - a poem by Gary.

Gary liked to travel; he visited England, Australia, Europe and New York City to name a few as well as many other places. Gary and his good friend Cameron enjoyed going to Tim Horton’s. Gary loved all animals, especially cats.

Left to mourn Gary’s passing are his father Bill, sisters, Shannon (Lionel and niece Summer), Laura, Whitney and Tara, Ray and Cindy Geske as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. He will be fondly remembered by both family and friends.

Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, October 23, 2026 at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Ave.
