Our father, Gary Hartung, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, February 20th, 2026. This loss has left our family heartbroken, and we are doing our best to support our mother as she navigates this difficult time. Gary was a loving husband, father, and friend to many, and his absence is deeply felt by all who knew him. He brought warmth and kindness to everyone he met, and his memory will always be cherished by our family and community.

In lieu of flowers, we are asking for donations to help our mother take the time she needs to heal and adjust to life without Gary. The funds raised will go directly to her to help cover living expenses and provide her with the space to grieve without the added burden of financial stress. Your generosity will allow her to focus on healing and remembering the wonderful life she shared with our father, rather than worrying about immediate financial concerns.

Your support is appreciated in this time of need. Thank you for standing by our family and helping us honor Gary’s memory. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for our mother as she moves forward during this difficult period.
