ument with her to work. He picked up the guitar and serenaded her, singing John Denver's "For Baby." That chance meeting blossomed into a 40-year love story in both Phoenix and Toledo, OH, with Gary and Carol owning and operating numerous businesses, including a wedding photography and services business, a bowling club, and a commercial kitchen. There truly was nothing Gary could not do, and in the words of his wife, he was a "Man Among Men." He was preceded in death by his parents, Artie and Opal, sisters Jeannie, Garnet and Georgia, brother-in law David Fall, sister-in law Regina Fall and niece Kayla. He is survived by his wife Carol (Coons) Jewell, sisters Susie Czech and Gail Pelland, sons Gary D. Jewell, Jr. (Melissa), Chris Jewell, Tim Brown (Karen), Dave Brown, and Jim Brown (Angela), daughter Jeanette Moore, 14 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren, and a multitude of cousins, nephews and nieces, and great-nephews and nieces that he loved dearly. He was a loving, caring, and giving soul. He was a great soldier, a strong believer, and he influenced so many through his faith in Jesus Christ. He was by no means perfect, but he was perfect to us.
