Gary William Shearman, the son of Lyle and Vivian (Tallman) Shearman, was born July 18, 1956 in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He attended school in Charles City.

On October 4, 1980, Gary was united in marriage to Diane Hibner at Trinity United Methodist Church in Charles City and this union was blessed with one daughter, Sarah. The couple made their home in Charles City. They later divorced, but remained great friends. Gary was very proud of Sarah's accomplishments and all that she has achieved in life. He loved having long conversations with her and being able to give her advice on life.

Gary worked for various farmers in the area until purchasing his own semi which he used to haul grain and later started working for Ruan Transport in Mason City until the terminal closed. He also helped a number of friends with farming.

Gary was a member of the Cedar River H.O.G (Harley Owners Group) Chapter, Teamsters 238, Floyd County Pullers and played in a local pool league. He enjoyed riding his Candy Apple Red Harley Trike, having lunch with his friends at The Comet Bowl, riding his snowmobile, attending stock car races, golfing, fishing, camping and hunting. Gary also loved old country music and tractor pulls.

Living family members include his daughter, Sarah of Charles City; mother, Vivian Brown of Holcombe, Wisconsin; two brothers: Dennis (Karen) Shearman of Charles City and Joey (Marsha) Shearman of Mason City; three sisters: Kathy (Leon) Kuehn of Winfield, Cheryl Shearman (Mike Exline) of Charles City and Carol (Keith) Swanson of Holcombe, Wisconsin; six nephews. He also had a special bond with Don Mitchell and Joyce (Mitchell) Knight (who he lived with in his teenage years until his marriage to Diane); Jake Winters, Kathie Christiansen and their boys, Jordan and Kellen (who Gary thought of as his grandsons).

He was preceded in death by his father, Lyle and step-father, Gareth Brown.

Memorials may be directed to his daughter, Sarah.
