Gary M. Justice Sr, a heroic firefighter, brother, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed away, surrounded by
his loving family on May 15, 2023, at the age of 76.
   
  
Born on November 29, 1946, in Massillon, Ohio, Gary was the son of Wesley and Bonnie Justice. Gary gave 37 years dedicated to the fire and EMS service that he began as a volunteer in May 1971, responding out of station #2 in the Richville area. His passion as a first responder led him to promotion as Chief of the Perry Township Fire Department which he served for 8 years before retiring in May 2008. He spent many years as a Timken employee in addition to his career as a firefighter.
   
  
Gary is preceded in death by his wife, Patricia. He is survived by his brothers, David Justice and Timothy (Marivic) Justice, sister Linda (Charles) Rusk, and children Nicholas (Toni) Justice, Jerry (Melissa) Justice, Gary (Kimberly) Justice Jr., and Bonnie (Dan) Justice-Sutton. Gary has seven grandchildren, Zachary Justice, Alexis Justice, Amanda Baum, Johnathan Justice, Caycee Flickinger, Alex Flickinger, Autumn Justice, and Aiden Justice, and several great-grandchildren. Gary's beloved pugs and sidekicks, Pugsley and Percy, will always cherish his memory.
