Stevensville – Gary Alan Thomas, 78, passed away unexpectedly September 2, 2018. He was born January 24, 1940 in Los Angeles CA. Gary was an accomplished carpenter who loved all that the great state of Montana had to offer. He loved spending time with family and friends. He loved football – a devoted Seahawks fan. Gary leaves behind his wife of 36 years, Linda; his daughter and son in law Julie and Steve Marsalisi; his son and daughter-in-law Bill and Tammy Fritsch; grandchildren Chase and wife Amanda Marsalisi, Nicolette Marsalisi, Tyler and wife Lexi Fritsch. Gary also leaves behind his sisters Doris Lee, Carol Ann Harrison, Janet Crockett, and brother Jim Thomas.

    I’ve known Gary for many years and he was truly one nice guy. He always knew you no matter how many years had passed and always took time to visit and share a laugh or two. My heart felt condolences to Linda and his family.
