Obituary of Gary Earl Sims

Gary Earl Sims was born September 29th, 1946 in Dayton, Ohio to Earl and Helen (Aker) Sims and he left this world on September 23rd, 2024.

He earned his degree from Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, California, and married his wife Susan (Kenyon) in August of 1970 in  Orange County, California. Married for 54 years, he and his wife raised their son Kevin, and worked hard at their business Sims Tree Health Specialists, Inc. Gary was passionate about his family, arboriculture, horses, hunting, and history, especially antique cars and tractors.  He loved Fishing, but his family would tease him he 'loved catching, not fishing' as he had no patience for just standing around.

His legacy of Fatherly devotion, hard work, and passionate dedication endures in all who knew him. 

He is survived by his wife Susan, his son Kevin, and his daughter-in-law Nicole.

He is predeceased by his parents Earl and Helen, and his two sisters, Carol and Sandra.
