Gary Leroy Descombaz

Sept. 23, 1939 – June 18, 2023

Gary Leroy Descombaz was born in Pierre, S.D. September 23, 1939 and went home to be with the Lord on June 18, 2023. He was a beloved husband, brother, dad, and papa and will be missed dearly. His family takes comfort in knowing that he is now free of pain and in the arms of his Savior. He was married to his darling wife, Pauline for 52 years and together they raised a blended family. They joined daughter Roxanne Wright, son-in-law Brannon and grandsons Jared and Ethan in a move from Calif. to Medical Lake, Wash. in 2005. The last few years were spent with Brannon and Roxanne in their Cheney home. He is survived by his wife, children, grandchildren, and brothers. Anyone that knew Gary knew that he was a proud retired Navy veteran. To honor his service, he will be laid to rest at the Washington State Veterans Cemetery in Medical Lake, WA.
