May 3, 1954 – August 29, 2024

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved husband, father, papa and brother, Garry J. Pecarski, who left us on Thursday, August 29th, 2024 at the age of 70, surrounded by his family. Garry will always be remembered for his quick wit, one-liners, great storytelling and passion for the wood pile and truck driving. He had a great ability to make friends out of strangers, make others smile and his sense of humor will be greatly missed.

He will forever be lovingly remembered by his wife of 44 years, Rose Marie (Glofcheskie), his children; Cindy, Andrew (Stacie), Amy (Jacob Matcheskie), Faron (Rebecca), and Rachel (Joseph Kluke). Garry was a beloved papa of 15 grandchildren; Rebecca, Hayden, Colin, Alexis, Cheyenne, Avery, Luke, Claire, Logan, Alexander, Caleb, Delaney, Mackenzie, Owen and Gabriel. The love that Garry had for his grandchildren will forever live on in their hearts. The moments that they shared on their many rhino rides and time spent at the lake will never be forgotten. Garry will also be deeply missed by his brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, family and friends.
