| About | Obituary for Gary Lynn Bills Beloved husband, father and grandfather, Gary Lynn Bills, was born on February 18, 1940, in Salmon, Idaho and passed away on Saturday, April 3, 2010, in Provo, Utah, with his family at his side. He has now reunited with his parents, Lawrence and Evelyn; older brother, Jon; and older sister, Anita, in his heavenly home. Gary is survived by his loving wife and eternal companion, Annette; and children, Kristina, Suzanne, Michael, and Matthew and younger brother, Patrick. Gary served a mission for the LDS Church in Switzerland. He returned home to complete his undergraduate degree at Brigham Young University where he met the love of his life, Annette. It was love at first sight and never dulled but instead deepened and blossomed throughout their marriage. He then went on to attend medical school at the University of Utah. While at medical school student he was conscripted into service in the U.S. Air Force where he acted as a flight surgeon and chaplain. After returning from Vietnam he completed his specialty training in orthopedic surgery at Wilford Hall Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. He concluded his military service at Mather Air Force Base in Rancho Cordova, Calif. In 1977, Gary began practicing medicine as an orthopedic surgeon in Ontario. His skilled hands as a surgeon and genuine love of people combined to forge an unwavering dedication of service to his community. He served his community diligently for 26 years. He inspired and touched many lives with his kind heart and his adventurous spirit drew him to pursue such activities as waterskiing, snow skiing, camping, fishing, and hunting with his family near the family ranch in Carmen, Idaho. He also loved simple pleasures like a good meal, a beautiful sunset, and spending time at home with his family. The love of flight coursed through his veins and he began building his own plane with the hope of realizing that dream. Throughout his life he served in various callings in his church and after retirement began working at the nearby LDS Mount Timpanogos Temple. He loved serving there with his wife and every time their paths crossed they would sweetly wink at each other. We will miss him dearly but look forward to reuniting as a whole family. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday in the Manila Ninth Ward Chapel. His family would like to express their deep gratitude to those who lovingly cared for him at the American Fork Hospital and at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. |
