- Gary Robert Hawley, 64, went to be with his Lord on May 15, 2019 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Mr. Hawley was born February 19, 1955 in Pontiac, MI, the son of the late Morton “Dutch” and Ruby Moore Hawley. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his father-in-law Lee McClung.
Gary was formerly from Vienna, WV and moved to Covington in 2013 to be closer to his grandson. He worked at St. Joseph’s Hospital for 35 years in Parkersburg, WV and worked at Lewis Gale Alleghany for 3 years until his retirement. He was a faithful servant of God, serving as a deacon at Vienna Baptist Church and then at First Christian Church for many years. He was attending Temple Baptist Church at the time of his passing.
Gary was a one-of-a-kind person, always had a kind word and a smile for everyone. A true example of how we should treat one another. He loved many things like golfing, the outdoors, West Virginia Sports, being around people, and most of all his family and his Savior.
