Gary Lee Giddings
Bangor
On October 29,2020 Gary Lee Giddings left this world unexpectedly and the
world lost a peaceful and gentle soul.
Gary was born on February 12,1964 to Donald Lee Giddings and Gayle
(Moulton) Zelko.
He graduated from Bangor High School class of 1982 and attended the
University Of Maine In Orono majoring in Business.
While attending UMO Gary decided to take an adventure and move to
California. In California he took an apprenticeship at a local boat
building company as a interior cabinet maker and so began his love for
working with wood as a finish carpenter. Although Gary was very
knowledgeable at all aspects of carpentry his true passion and talent was
designing and building furniture and his plan was when he retired to do
just that.
When Gary decided to move back to Maine instead of booking an airline
flight he bought himself a cross country bicycle and him and a friend
peddled across the USA. It took him only 45 days and he recorded his
journey along the way.
Gary so loved the water weather swimming, kayaking or going for a boat
ride with his fur nephew Wynnston. He said being on the water gave him so
much peace. He enjoyed spending time at the family camp on Pushaw Lake
and had been spending a lot of time there recently. He also loved the
outdoors, annual family camping trips with family, hunting, fishing and gardening something he hadn't beenable to do lately.
The angels that were waiting at heavens gate for his arrival are: His
father, mother and step father Louis Zelko, Sherman his golden retriever and special friend.
He leaves behind broken hearts being mended by all the great memories they
have. Wife Kathy(Shedd)Giddings, Sister Dawn Call and husband Steve,
brother Ryne Giddings and wife Theresa; sister-in-law, Tammy (Green) Millette and husband, Henry; brother-in-law, David Shedd and wife, Brenda; niece and nephews, Megan (Millette) Pelletier and husband, Hank; Ryan Millette and girlfriend Samantha; Christopher Shedd and wife, Amy;Micheal Shedd and wife Taylor Jonathan Shedd and girlfriend Lindsey. Uncle Gary loved all of you so very much and loved hearing from you. Also his special furry pals Sir Wynnston, Griffin and Nell which brought him great comfort. Close friends, Kevin and Sandy Dunham, John O'neill, Steve Garrison and Jessica Ward
Gary was known for his way with words, infectious smile and his unforgettable laugh.
Gary's request was for his service to be private.
The family would ask that Gary's family, friends or anyone reading this to
reach out to someone they love and because of covid give them a virtual
hug and tell them you love them.
