I was sad to see that Gary is gone. He was a really good guy.
We were so shocked to hear of Gary’s passing today. We send our love and prayers to the whole family. The picture of Gary with sweet Amber is precious.

I remember Gary's deep love for his children, & him asking for prayer for them & for God to help him guide them as a dad should.
I was so saddened to hear this news today. Yet, I am rejoicing with Gary knowing that he is now in the presence of Jesus and has heard those words we all hope to hear some day...Well done thou good and faithful servant.
Gary was such a dear friend and a great help to us during his years of help with the ministry of The Lighthouse. We shared many wonderful times of worship, praying with friends and new believers, and all the fun times in between. His love for the Lord was evident in all that he did. I could fill pages with those times, but it would take quite some time to list them all.
One of those fun times that is a vivid memory was one of those hard fought Browns-Steelers games. I know, Lisa, they all ended with those pesky Steelers on the winning side. But that one that included Browns colors all over the house, and Browns tumblers for the sodas that day, and the most fantastic almost win game ever was a great one. Listening to you and Gary whooping and hollering when the black and gold came back and won that one will forever be a memory of the Kardiac Kids that I would like to remember with a different ending. And yet, we still shared a special friendship through it all.
Dear Kerns family, Gary was a true friend and a wonderful warrior for Jesus. My thoughts and prayers will be with you in the coming days. It was an honor to call Gary my friend.
