Gary was born December 30, 1949 in Grinnell, Iowa, the son of Neal and Evelyn (Ford) Osborn. He grew up and attended school in Tiffin, IA. Gary met Marilou Spoerry in 1967 and the couple later married on January 6, 1968 in Marengo.
He was dedicated to his profession as a truck driver – driving for Ruan Transportation, Wynne Trucking, First Fleet, and Hummer Trucking. Gary retired after many dedicated miles on the road.
He very much enjoyed go-cart and stock car racing, fishing, camping, listening to the radio, attending his grandchildren’s ball games, and most of all spending time with friends and family.
Survivors include his wife Marilou, his children, Kristyn (Curt) Cleveland of Cedar Rapids, Chad (Jennifer) Osborn of Marengo, Colleen (Ken) Garcia of Oxford, and Dana Osborn (Justin Jones) of Oxford; grandchildren Cade Osborn, Coby Osborn, Hannah Jackson, Jaelynn Osborn, Jaxon Osborn, Jentzen Jones, Jordan Garcia, Kyle Cleveland, Kahner Cleveland, and Kimberly Benesh; siblings Terrie (Darrell) Bahndorf of Cedar Rapids and Elizabeth “Tuddy” Adamson of Altoona. Along with multiple nieces and nephews.
Gary was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, and beloved dog Tank.
