Gary Wendling

Gary loved his family and friends, animals, and speed! He was always the first to arrive anywhere. His exotic animals and dogs were a source of great enjoyment. A proud committee member for the Clark County Mule Festival and regular Clark County fair attendee, he enjoyed camping with his friends each year. Many hours were spent racing horses, riding and racing motorcycles, boating, riding four-wheelers and side-by-sides, watching sports and following the activities of his family. He lived his life to the fullest and will be dearly missed.
