Gary Donahoo Obituary

A Celebration of Life in honor of Gary Donahoo is planned for December 15th, 2018 at the Lewis-Arriola Community Center from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Gary was a man that lived with passion in all he did in life. He shared his time, knowledge, wisdom and jokes with many. His smile and laughter could light up any room. His Celebration of Life will offer guests an opportunity to share their memories of him. Along with shared stories there will be a special area for Hot Rod parking in honor of his passion and love of his lifelong hobby. There will also be a slide show of pictures and if you have any to share please email them to [email protected]. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made at the Dolores State Bank for the Gary Donahoo Memorial Car Show to take place in Cortez next spring.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Gary was the love of my life, my high school sweetheart, but things don't always go as planned, we don't always get the story book endings. He was a wonderful man, father and provider. I will always remember and love him for the times we shared together.
