After a life of love and quiet grace, Gary "Doc" Lindstrom, 44, has passed.
What follows is written with love, by those who knew him best.
Gary entered this world in 1970 — the start of a journey that would span 44 years.
Gary spent his working life as ['a time as a diesel mechanic'] and held deeply to the Methodist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
Those who live by belief leave a different kind of mark.
