Gary Frysinger Funeral Expense Fund

Donation protected
My Uncle - Gary W. Frysinger passed away unexpectedly from some sort of coronary event on Monday April 23, 2018.  He was a young 71 years old, devoted son, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend.

Uncle Gary was the youngest son of my grandparents Jack Lee and Ruth E. (Pond) Frysinger Sr, who survive and live in Van Wert, Ohio.  He was their baby.   He married my Aunt Teresa on December 18, 1971 who resides at their home in Van Wert.  The unconditional love of my grandparents and my Aunt Teresa made him the man he became.  

He was a 1966 graduate of Van Wert High School, attended Wright State University and the Paulding Police Academy.

Uncle Gary retired as a police officer and bailiff for the Paulding Police Department; and formerly worked and retired from Huffy Bicycle in Celina, Ohio.  He was most happy as a Servant Leader and seemed most fulfilled in his career as a police officer and bailiff.

Many of my earliest memories involve my Uncle Gary.  I remember him being a big tough guy, the stereotypical athlete, having the muscle car and maybe driving it a bit too fast on occasion - but don’t tell my grandmother.  Uncle Gary was always looking for fun, always had a huge grin on his face, was always cracking jokes, and always had more love to give than anyone I know.  And, he was life-long committed  fan of The Ohio State University Buckeyes - especially football.  

I will also remember his unimaginable love for his family.  Aunt Teresa, Susan, Jason, and Erin were the center of his world for so many years.  Then, along came a son-in-law and four grandchildren.  His love for those grandchildren - Carson, Allie, Nik and Jakeb was fierce.  

Over the past 46+ years, they have experienced joy and tragedy, miracles and loss.  But, through the course, they built a beautiful life and stuck together no matter what.

Monday April 23rd was like a bad dream for all who loved him.  Losing him - and so quickly - has left a vast void.  Uncle Gary was the kind of man who touched so many - more than he will ever realize.  

Uncle Gary accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior years ago. I know where he is now.  While we feel a deep sadness for our loss on earth, I know we will meet again.  

I am creating this Go Fund Me page for my Aunt Teresa who would never ask for help.  The burden of Funeral Expenses can be overwhelming.  All funds collected will be used to pay for Uncle Gary’s funeral expenses.

As his “favorite” niece, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. (I can think of a few ladies who are going to protest that “favorite” comment...)

Love, 
Cali
