Gary was a man of strong opinions who had his own unique perspective on life in general. He

had strong convictions about friendship and loyalty. He was a true and steadfast friend.

He had many barriers and a small inner circle of friends, but once you were invited into that inner

circle there wasn't anything he (Shen the Dragon) would not do for you. Gary lived! He lived

his life truly the way he wanted. He was stubborn but steadfast and constant. He took on

everything with a level of seriousness, whether it was work or play. He loved gaming

with friends, riding his motorcycle, and the Texas Renaissance Festival, and he had a way of bringing people together and making sure everyone had a good time. He was a Father, a

Husband, a Brother, a Cousin and a Friend. He will be sorely missed.
