Obituary

In Loving Memory of Gary Dale Kinas

With heavy hearts and an abundance of love, we announce the passing of Gary Dale Kinas, who passed away on September 29, 2026, at the age of 73.

Gary was a proud United States Army veteran, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a man who meant so much to those fortunate enough to know him.

At first glance, Gary may have seemed like a serious man, but those who truly knew him knew he was a big teddy bear at heart. Beneath that tough exterior was someone with a great sense of humor, a soft spot for his loved ones, and a special talent for delivering the driest jokes with a straight face. He had a way of making people laugh when they least expected it, often without even cracking a smile himself.

Family meant everything to Gary, but there was no denying that his greatest love was his wife, Marcelina. The love he had for her was something truly special. He was a devoted husband and a proud father to his two children, Kyle and Kyra, whom he loved dearly.

Gary found joy in the little things in life, whether it was sharing a laugh, spending time with family, or simply being surrounded by the people he loved. He didn’t always need grand gestures or many words to show how much he cared. His love was reflected in the way he lived and the memories he leaves behind.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Marcelina, and his children, Kyle and Kyra, who will forever carry his love, humor, and memory in their hearts.

Although his passing leaves a space that can never truly be filled, his family will continue to cherish the countless memories, laughter, and love he brought into their lives.

Gary will be remembered not only for the man he was, but for the husband and father he will always be in the hearts of those who loved him.

Forever loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten. Rest peacefully, Gary.
