Gary Ray Poling

Gary went into the arms of Jesus and will receive a new body where once again he will be able to walk, talk, sing, run and fish with his best friend, Eddie Harris.

Gary was born March 9, 1960, in Parsons West Virginia, a son of the late Okey Ray Poling and Ruth Irene Lambert Poling.

Also preceding him in death was a sister, Patricia Ruth Phillips, and husband, Philip Wayne Phillips.

Gary is survived by sisters, Pamela Ann Johnson and husband, Robert “Buck” Johnson, Alkol West Virginia, with whom he lived with for the past several years, and Wilma Lee Poling, Alkol, West Virginia; brothers, Donald Allen Poling, Hambleton, West Virginia, and Ricky Lynn Poling of Alkol, West Virginia; and several nieces, nephews and cousins that will all miss him dearly.

Gary attended Tucker County High School. While living at home with his parents, he attended Riverview Chapel Church, where he was a member. Gary loved singing in the choir and standing up to testify about his savior.

Gary loved spending time with his siblings and family. He loved to listen to Mother Nature and Nick Jr. He also loved to play with toys that made noises and played music. Gary will be missed by many.

Gary will be cremated and a celebration of life will be held at a later date in Alkol, West Virginia.
