Gary was born Dec. 18, 1946, in Le Mars, the son of Martin and Lucille (Frahm) Larson. He attended country school and finished his education at Le Mars Community School. He attended Westmar College in Le Mars and graduated with honors with a double major.

He entered the Army in 1969 and was honorably discharged because he developed diabetes in 1970.

He married Joy (Mills - Hunter - Roberts) on June 30, 2001. With that marriage, he became a husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and was loved deeply by all. He masterfully slipped from being single into this role.

He was a follower of Christ and attended Le Mars Bible Church. He attended Bible Studies and led Bible Studies until recently when his illness kept him from this.

He was proud to be a 4-H Shooting Sports instructor and was an NRA member.

He was a master woodworker and enjoyed hunting and fishing and the animals on the farm.
