Gary Lee Hamilton was born June 6, 1963 in Washington, Iowa to Marvin Lee and Deloris (Hills) Hamilton. Gary was a former city council member and mayor of Conesville. He also served on the Conesville Volunteer Fire Department. “Gomer” enjoyed spending time with family, especially Sunday night suppers and coffee at Aunt Mary’s. He loved fishing, hunting, motocross, hare scramble races, and Harley-Davidson motorcycles. But mostly Gary enjoyed being with his girls; teaching them how to hunt, fish, ride dirt-bikes, and especially teaching them to live in the moment and not to worry about tomorrow.

Memorial donations may be directed to the family.
