Gary Robert Ward went home to Jesus on December 4, 2019 after a very brave fight with esophagus cancer. Born on April 12, 1956 in Passaic N.J., he was 63 years old.

Gary was an amazing hero to us all. Husband, father, brother, son, Pop Pop and a great friend to many.

Gary loved the Yankees and Giants, collecting sports memorabilia, and riding his Harley. He loved Christmas, camping and fishing, the beach and Atlantic Ocean. He loved watching Ancient Aliens and was confident we are not alone. Gary loved music, gardening and coffee. He accepted Jesus as his savior, and we are sure he is now in his arms. 

He leaves behind his beloved wife of 37 years, Rosellyn; three children: Devyn Ward, Shannon Ward (Joey Burgos) and Ryan Ward; seven beautiful grandchildren: Emma, Sonny, Jackson and Benjamin Burgos; Rylee, Regan and Reanne Ward. He is also survived by his father Robert Ward (Hot Springs, NC) his sister Cynthia Ward Bathe (Robert) (Marshall, NC) and sister Catherine Miller (Hot Springs, NC). He was preceded in death by his mother Dorothy and his brother Kevin.
