Stockbridge
- Gary P. Batterbee moved to his heavenly home, while surrounded by
family, on
June 21, 2021 at the age of 74.
He
was born on May 24,
1947 in Lansing, Michigan, the son of Percy and Beatrice (Burbank)
Batterbee.
Surviving are his wife Marianne; children Thomas (Shawne), and Carrie
(Harold);
grandchildren Tyler and Devin. He was preceded in death by his parents,
and
sisters Theresa, Joann, and Dorothy.
Gary was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He loved to give
hugs and
spend time with his family. He put his family's needs ahead of his own,
and was
always on the lookout to "help out" in any way possible. Even during
his battle with Alzheimer's, he remained a jokester, and blessed us
with a
wonderful day on his birthday recently with dancing, joking, and
laughter.
His family is planning to hold a Celebration of Life picnic for friends
and
family later this summer. Details will follow. We are truly blessed
beyond
measure and in lieu of flowers, gifts, or memorials, we ask that in the
spirit
of helping others you bless another person with an act of kindness.
"Those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar on
wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and
not
faint." Isaiah 40:31
