Gary McKinley passed away peacefully at home, on Friday, August 30th, 2024. Age 81 years.
Beloved husband of the late Karen McKinley (née Jennings). Loving father of Kerry (Darlene), Tracy, and the late Trevor (Christine). Cherished Grandpa of Meaghan (Josh), Brandon (Zabrina), Gillian, and Nicholas. Great Grandpa “Gramps” of Jayce and Aiden. Gary will be forever missed by his dear friend Glenna. Fondly remembered by his nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
Gary was happiest while sharing his love of music – especially playing for others. An avid outdoorsman, he loved hunting and fishing in both Parry Sound and Manitoulin Island.
As was Gary’s wish, cremation has taken place. A celebration of Gary’s life will take place at Christie Memorial Cemetery on Friday, September 13th, at 1:00 P.M.
