He was preceded in death by his father, Dewey; sister, Patty (Greg) Knight; brother-in-law, Robert Moore. A memorial service will be held 11 a.m. on Friday, February 3, 2023, at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home, 4031 Clyde Park SW, Wyoming, with Pastor Don VanSlyke officiating. Relatives and friends may meet the family Friday from 10-11 a.m. prior to the service at the funeral home.

I spent many summer days & nights at the Kornoely home, hanging out with Matt or going to the movies. I even went fishing with Gary and the kids a few times. Gary was always willing to share his outdoorsman knowledge, experience and his home with his kids' friends. Grateful I got to spend time at your house during my SJV years.

Partridge hunting, duck hunting, deer hunting, fly fishing, it didn't matter what outdoor adventure I was on I'd always end up using a Gary-ism. I'll certainly miss you my friend and cousin. Where you're going I'll bet they have a wonderful wood shop.
