Gary Lee Kimberling, age 66, a life-long Marion resident passed away September 24, 2017 after a lengthy illness.
Born on June 15, 1951 to Raymond and Helen (DuPell) Kimberling, he was a 1969 graduate of Harding High School.
Everyone who knew Gary soon learned that he had an outgoing personality, loved to tell a good joke or two and was a great friend who could always be counted on. He loved to play tennis, engage in a game of chess or challenge you to a game of pool. To say that Gary was an avid debater would be an understatement. He had worked for various factories in the Marion area as a machinist and was also known for his ability to do auto body work in several body shops.
Surviving are his brothers; David (Toni) Kimberling of Marion and Mark (Judy) Kimberling of Germantown, Tennessee, 4 nieces, 1 great-niece, 3 great-nephews and numerous lifelong friends.
Friends may call on Friday from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM at the Hughes-Allen Funeral Home. Funeral services will be conducted on Saturday at 10:00 AM at the Hughes-Allen Funeral Home. Burial will follow in Chapel Heights Memory Garden.
