Obituary of Gary Albert Lecki

Gary Albert Lecki peacefully passed away on October 3, 2018 surrounded by loved ones and will be missed by all.

He was born on April 14, 1951 to John and Helen Lecki. Gary had an amazing memory dating back to his years in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, where he grew up. He endured trauma and trials that should never be brought upon anyone. They did however bring him to Utah where he started melting hearts in 1996. He lived an amazing spirited life and will be forever missed.

To know Gary is to love him. His loss is felt so deeply and personally by each person that knew him. Our hearts were made bigger and we were all made better for knowing him. He will be missed always.

Appreciation is noted for all of those who cared for Gary over the many years of his life. Recently, the incredible care, professionalism, concern, and respect shown to Gary from the staff at Provo Specialty Hospital until his passing is not only appreciated by his loved ones, but we feel written on stone with gratitude in heaven.

He is survived by his immediate family which include his guardians Rosco and Laurel Smith and his brother in kind Ronnie Stone. His family extends to all of those that know, care, and love him. This includes countless individuals who Gary not only knew by name but who were often assigned a unique name or story. This was another amazing way that Gary found to show his love to others.

Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday, October 9, 2018 at 11am at Anderson and Sons Mortuary located at 49 East 100 North, American Fork. A viewing will be held on Monday, October 8, 2018 from 6-8pm at Anderson and Sons Mortuary and from 9:45-10:45am on Tuesday prior to the service. Gary will be laid to rest at East Lawn Memorial Hills in Provo.

In lieu of flowers we request that donations instead be made to oneself. Give yourself permission for those extras you usually deny. Get the chocolate milk shake, buy the dress, spend the extra hour at lunch, or sleeping in. Live life to your fullest. Gary wouldn't want it any other way.
