It is with great sadness that the family of Gary Deardorff announce his passing on Tuesday, November 14th, 2017 after a courageous 3-year battle with cancer. He will be forever remembered by his wife of 34 years Gail, his daughter Morgan, his parents and brother. He was born October 10, 1959 in California and was raised in Baker City, OR. Gary moved to the Tri-Cities 34 years ago where he began his career after marrying the love of his life. He was recently retired as the Manager of Utility Services after 25 years with the City of Kennewick. Gary spent most of his free time on the golf course, maintaining a well landscaped yard, or catching up on every sport imaginable on TV. He was always the first one to lend a helping hand to anyone in need and continually gave back to the community by donating blood, being a part of the Kiwanis club, and helping with Junior Achievement. He was known for making the best cinnamon rolls, strawberry rhubarb pie, and home brew to share with everyone. To the strongest and hardest working guy we know, we will miss you forever. To honor Gary, the family asks that donations be made to Northwest Cancer Clinic Kennewick, WA. At Gary's request, there will be no funeral or memorial service.
