Gary Dean Lonskey Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Gary Dean Lonskey of Salida, California, who passed away at the age of 81, on April 26, 2024. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Gary Dean Lonskey to show support.

Though Gary may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Gary touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Selma Lonskey and Bill Lonskey; and his sibling Val Coughlin. He is survived by: his children, Dean Lonskey, Gerry Lusk and Heather Daniel (Lusk); his wife Kathy; and his son-in-law Ben. He is also survived by extended family.

One example of him helping was as a life-long blood donor, donating several gallons over the years and then regularly donating platelets, which is a more complicated and time-consuming process.
