He served four years in active duty as an enlisted Administrative Specialist and was honorably discharged. He received a National Defense Service medal and a Good Conduct medal during his service. In 1980, he moved with his family to Soldotna, Alaska, to take a position in the petroleum industry. He quickly moved up the ranks to Operator, where he spent 18 years. After retirement he and his wife moved back to Idaho. Gary was preceded in death by his father, Forrest Cree Daniels; children, Tracy and Britt Daniels; sister, Ronda Jeanne Maki (Daniels); mother, Norma Jeanne Daniels (Lee).

Garry was an avid outdoorsman. He love to fish, hunt, four wheel, and take endless photos of wildlife, rocks, flowers, birds and anything that came in front of his camera lens. His favorite of favorite places was in the mountains. He felt the closest to nature when in the mountains and was always relaxed and at peace there. Garry's family was the most important thing to him. He will be missed by all who know and loved him. He was someone who was always there whenever an extra hand or kind word was needed. The world lost a great man when Garry left us. Now he will soar with the eagles, swim with the fish, run with the animals and keep a watchful eye on mother nature. That is who he was and will always be. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made is his name to the American Cancer Society, 2676 S. Vista Avenue, Boise, Idaho, 83705.
