Gary Glenn Parks
Passed away on January 31, 2021
Gary Glenn Parks died peacefully on Sunday, January 31st, 2021. Gary was the son of Roosevelt and Louise Parks and was born in Gastonia, NC. Gary graduated from Ashley High School in Gastonia and attended Pfeiffer College. His passion was automobile sales, an industry to which he dedicated his entire professional career.

Gary was a member of the German Friendly Society and the Lutheran Church of the Ascension, where he sang in the choir and was a member of the handbell choir. He served on the worship committee, trained the acolytes and crucifers, and loved working with the youth at the church. Gary was an avid golfer, music lover, and enjoyed spending time out on the water.
