“Gary was funny, sarcastic sense of humor but kind, fought for what he believed in, a devout Christian and was so proud of his daughter, Haylee,” Lavelle said on her personal Facebook page. Because of the suddenness of this event, we ask that you pray for our daughter as she finds her way through this process that we call sorrow. Soar to great heights in the skies, Gar! I would want to express my gratitude for our journey, as well as for the fact that you have bestowed upon me the talents of acting, my passion for horses, and most significantly, our daughter.
Both Graham’s wife, Becky, and his daughter, Haylee, will go on after his passing.
