Gary Robert Selner made his way home to the Lord on Dec. 13, 2020, after a lifelong battle with muscular dystrophy.
Throughout his 26 years, Gary brought light, laughter, and joy to everyone who had the good fortune of meeting him. His disability never defined him, and no one who knew Gary pitied him. Instead, his courage and perseverance motivated others to improve their own lives.
Gary graduated with honors from Cairo-Durham High School in 2012. He went on to earn several certifications in gemology from the Gemological Institute of America. Gary enjoyed crafting jewelry for friends and family, cheering on his favorite NASCAR drivers, and sampling all sorts of different hot sauces. He also taught himself about stock trading and writing code, which he put toward numerous self-directed projects. He was very proud of Progress, his homemade remote-control rover.
