Gary Myers touched the hearts  of so many people. His reach extended from beyond the borders of Brooklyn, NY to multiple countries around the world. Where ever you go and who ever you speak to, the accounts remain the same. Gary was genuine through and through...

Unfortunately Gary was fighting cancer. And through it all he remained postive, he remained helpful, he was still teaching and he was still overwhelmingly generous.

As #garysfamily let's shower support over Gary's mother, brothers and sisters who he loved dearly. Not only will they incur significant funeral expenses, but they will also suffer from the loss of Gary's contribution to the household.

If you knew Gary, you know he was beyond generous and always willing to lend a smiling face and helping hand. Especially when it came to his treasure. He would give and give and then give some more, even if it was his last. In this difficult time, we want to return the love he so freely gave and provide relief for a portion of the burden his family faces. Any donation, word of encouragement, share, or prayer is valued greatly; they have already been so humbled and grateful by the outpouring of support on social media.

Much love and gratitude to everyone who reads this,
Family *Gary's voice*

*All funds raised will go to cover the funeral expenses. If you have any concerns about the validity of this fund; please reach out to the contact.*

Here are some quotes and accounts of and about Gary that show just how great of a man he was.

We need to continue to be the FAMILY he held in high regard. We need to support more like he did. We need to love more like he did. We need to help each other and rebuke in love like he did. What an example Gary Myers IS!" - rebekah
