            <text>Garry Dale Neece passed away in his home on June 20, 2026, following an extended illness.&#13;
&#13;
Garry was born on March 14, 1975, to Roy and Donna (Gibbs) Neece and was preceded in death by his parents.&#13;
&#13;
He is survived by his brother and sister, Christopher “Buster” (Kellie) Neece and Pamela Neece. As the middle child, Garry always said he was the rose between two thorns. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews, Breanna Kay, Braedon Keith, Jacob Matthew, and Kayde Elizabeth, as well as several uncles, aunts, and cousins.&#13;
&#13;
Garry was a farmer and loved the great outdoors, music, movies, and his family. He was always there when needed and he didn’t quit until the job was done. He always had a smile on his face and a funny story to tell.&#13;
&#13;
As a farmer, Garry lived his life by the seasons: planting, growing, harvesting, and finally, resting. Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.”  While Garry will be missed by many, it is his time to rest in the arms of his Father.&#13;
&#13;
Service will be graveside only Wednesday, June 24, 2026 at 11:00am at Union Cemetery in Letart, WV with Reverend David Greer officiating. </text>
