Gary Leo Abbott was born November
1, 1979, at the Northern
C o l o r a d o Me d i c a l C e n t e r i n
Greeley, Colorado.
He moved with his family at the
age of two to Fruita, Colorado
w h e r e h e r e m a i n e d u n t i l h i s
passing. Gary attended kindergarten
through high school in
Fruita.
Gary was employed as Operations Manager at Roustabout Specialties,
Inc., for most of his career. The family would like to thank all
of Gary’s fellow employees for the incredible support they have
provided since this tragedy.
His family feels truly blessed to have shared in his journey from a
child to a man with a big heart. He thoroughly enjoyed his family,
job, many colleagues, and all his treasured friends. Gary never met a
stranger and always had a smile, a hug, or shared a laugh with everyone
he knew. As a child, Gary was a fun-loving jokester and that
personality continued on through his adult life and brought many
happy, joyous times and fond memories to his family and his family
of close friends.
Gary married his best friend, Sadinia, on August 11, 2001. They
have two beautiful children, Kaeden and Kenda. He enjoyed taking
his children to Lake Powell where they would go tubing and skiing.
He was a Rockies fan and going to the games became a favorite
family activity. Gary was obsessed with hunting. His trusted companions,
Chester and Remi (Labs) would always join him.
Gary’s greatest gift to his family was the birth of his children, son,
Kaeden, and daughter, Kenda. They will now be his legacy. Gary
will be missed sorely. He was an incredible son, brother, grandson,
nephew, husband, dad, uncle and friend. He will live in our hearts
forever.
