Gary L. York, 61

Gary L. York, 61, of Brownsville went home to be with the Lord on Sept. 23, 2026 as he was surrounded by the warmth and love of family and friends at his home.
 
The Edmonson County native was a general laborer. He was a son of the late Sherman York Sr and Barbara Jane Davis and the husband of the late Lena Irene Wilson York. He was also preceded in death by a brother, Sherman York Jr.
 
Gary had a profound sense of loyalty to those he cared about, possessed a true heart of gold and was known by all for genuinely being everybody’s friend. He will be missed greatly and always be remembered for his love and laughter and his sharing of past tales over a stout cup of black coffee on the front porch.
 
Funeral services will be held at 3:00 PM Friday at Gravil Funeral Home with burial to follow in Shadyland Cemetery. Visitation will begin at 10:00 AM Friday.
 
Surviving are five sisters, Rose Marie McDowell, Mary Montgomery, Lisa Collett, Debra Poynter and Rhonda Prescott (Donnie); a brother, Kevin York (Cristi); two step daughters, Lisa York (William) and Jeanne Vibbert (Sonny); four grandchildren, Jessica Lindsey (Brandon), Dylan Sisco, Morgan Meredith (Jake) and Jamie Walsh (Cody); four great grandchildren, Parker Lindsey, Ayvan Lindsey, Shane Lindsey and Otto Walsh; two sisters-in-law, Pat Cowles (Richard) and Brenda Warren; and several nieces and nephews.
