Cremation has taken place and a memorial service was held December 14, 2023, at the Fulkerson Stevenson Funeral Home Chapel in Williston. Interment was in Minnesota. Gary was born in Roseau, MN, to Vernon and Doris Robb on August 4, 1956. He was raised in Kennedy, MN, and graduated from high school in 1974. From there, he joined the Air Force and served for three years before being honorably discharged in November of 1977. He then moved to Williston and began his career in the oilfield, with his most recent company being Spec-Tech. He met Debra Johnson in Williston, and the two of them married on June 25, 1982. Together they had two children, Shannah and Garrett. Their marriage later ended in divorce. Gary was an avid car and motorcycle enthusiast, having a few sports cars of his own growing up. In the summertime, you’d find him working on and riding his two motorcycles. In the colder seasons, you could find him enjoying some old-time westerns on TV. He loved his time being a grandfather, and enjoyed seeing his grandchildren as much as he could. He never forgot a birthday or holiday when it came to them. He is survived by his two children, Shannah (Sean) Hendrickson and Garrett Robb; his six grandchildren, Ariana Jo, Ayden, Addisyn, Asher, Skylar, and Exton; his sister, Janice (Raymond) Hunt and their children, Phil (Rebecca) Hunt and Andrea (Andrew) Aberle; and numerous other relatives in Minnesota. He was preceded in death by both of his parents.
