Garry was a lifelong resident of Cuba and attended Cuba High School.   He was a hardworking and dedicated man; he spent several years running Indian Springs Resort but was best known for his long career with Bass Canoe Rental where he served as head of service and maintenance.  In recent years, he worked for John Bell, spending days feeding cattle.  Garry accepted the Lord as his personal Savior at an early age and was baptized at Crossroads Baptist Church where he was a member.  He later attended Free Will Baptist Church in Cuba and First Baptist Church in Leasburg.  Garry was an outdoorsman through and through.  He enjoyed flathead and crappie fishing, especially night fishing.  Garry was a proud member of the State Coon Hunters of Missouri, and he loved hunting, trapping, and coon hunting.  Time on his jet boat, frying up fish, or going to Shelly’s or the East Office were some of his favorite ways to spend the day.  Garry also enjoyed the simple things, McDonald’s chicken nuggets, long road trips, watching westerns, cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals and being surrounded by friends and family. 

He was preceded in death by his parents Benjamin and Virginia Farris.
