Carla, I’m not sure you will remember me but I shot archery with Gary. I’m very sorry to hear about Gary. I pray God gives your family the strength you need at this time.
I send my condolences and sorry to all of Gary’s family. I first met Gary when his dad, Ted, opened up Tri-Lakes Appraisal Service in Beaumont back in the early to mid 1970’s I guess it was. Though I did not know Gary well on a personal level, I did know him on a professional level and had all the respect in the world for him. I do know through casual conversation that Gary was an avid hunter and fisherman, and loved enjoying the outdoors in any way possible. This world has lost a really great man.
Carla, I’m So Sorry To Hear About Gary. Prayers For You And Your Family.
Man I hated hearing the news of Gary’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with him on several storms when we both worked at Pilot. What a great guy and he will be dearly missed. My condolences and prayers to the Skaggs family
The entire Skaggs family is hardworking, talented and have a good sense of humor. These are the folks we tend to miss the most. Those who knew him, are better for it. Those who loved him are the real winners in this life.
Sending heart felt sympathy to the family.
RIP Gary – Go Rest High On That Mountain.
I am so sorry for your loss. Love, hugs and prayers!!
Gary was definitely one of the good guys!!!!
There are no words to express the heartache we feel over the loss of our beloved brother-in-law. You will be missed. We love you all.
