Gary attended the workshop at Marimor Industries. He was one of the first residents to reside at the Mary Ann Brown facility.

He was preceded in death by his father, William Young; brother, William Young Jr.; stepfather, Leroy Jackson; and grandparents, Saunders and Annie May Young and Claire and Sherman Boddie.
