The son of the late Philip Irvin and Vergie Elizabeth (Swanson) Lindquist, he was born July 9, 1941 in Greentop, Missouri. In October of 1980 in Kirksville, Missouri, Gary was united in marriage to Elizabeth "Beth" Losey.

Gary was a graduate from Greentop High School with the Class of 1959. For a number of years he managed Empire Gas Co. in Queen City, Mo. From there he went to manage Koch Asphalt Plant in Moberly, Mo. His true passion was taking care of his farm, cows, and John Deere tractors. He enjoyed his retirement by sitting on the front porch with Beth and his trusty dog Kate while drinking a good cup of coffee. Gary had a great love for his family, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

It was Gary's wish to be cremated and graveside services will take place at a later date at Greentop Memorial Park Cemetery in Greentop.
