Gary Elliott, 72

Gary Elliott may not have been an actor, athlete, astronaut or brain surgeon, but he was always a true hero for his family. He was a genuine role model who realized that some of the most important things in life were the little things like teaching his son to fly fish. He was the dad who went to all the countless games and ski races no matter the distance or weather. He was the husband who was a rock for his wife during all the ups and downs of life. He was a man of whom you could ask any question and know that you would always get an honest answer. Gary, without fail, would put his family, friends and community before himself. He was an inspiration to many and left this world a better place because he was in it.
