Gary Roger Syverson was born Dec. 3, 1942, to James and Helen (Marti) Syverson in Sleepy Eye. He was baptized Feb. 7, 1943, at St. John’s Lutheran Church, confirmed in his faith on May 20, 1956, and graduated from Sleepy Eye High School in 1960. After graduation, Gary enlisted in the United States Air Force and served from 1961-64. Gary was honorably discharged on Dec. 7, 1964, after spending part of his time in Alaska. On Dec. 18, 1965, Gary was united in marriage to Marlene Windschitl at the Grace Parsonage in Sleepy Eye. In 1968, the couple moved to New Ulm and made it their home ever since. Gary provided for his family by working at AMPI and Kraft Foods in New Ulm until he retired. In his free time, Gary enjoyed trap shooting, hunting, fishing and spending time with all of his family. He will be dearly missed by those that knew him. Blessed be his memory.
