Gary Kenneth Vorous' Obituary
Beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend, Gary Kenneth Vorous, passed away November 8th, 2025 at age 61, following a brief and courageous health battle.
He was the youngest of 5 children, born February 13th, 1964, in Sacramento, CA. He moved to Washington State in 1988, marrying Barbara in 1989.
Gary was first and foremost a family man, a wonderful father to Nichelle and Natalie. A hard worker in the auto-body field, he was successful in going up the ladder from Body Man to General Manager during his many years in the business. He loved the outdoors. His hobbies included fishing, boating, camping, jeeping, and riding his Harley.
Gary was a hard-working, loyal, and honorable man. He was especially proud of our cabin at Lake Cushman that he worked so hard to create as a legacy for his family. He is survived by his spouse Barb, daughters Nichelle and Natalie, grandson Ben, sisters Karen and Anita, and many extended family members.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Barbara, and his brothers Ed and Steve.
There will be a celebration of life gathering at Totem Yacht Club in Ruston, WA on December 12th at 5pm.
