Gary Frank Estes
Gary Frank Estes, 61, peacefully passed away at Hope Hospice in North Fort Myers, Florida on Tuesday, July 21, 20015. Gary lost his life after a five-year battle with cancer. Gary was born in Lexington, Kentucky and is the son of the late Mary (Eaton) Estes and David Louis Estes, Jr. He is survived by four loving siblings: Cindy (Estes) Rice and her husband Charles Rice, Dena (Estes) Johnson and her husband Paul Johnson, Michael Estes and his wife Dee Dee Estes and David Estes III and his wife Joann Estes. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews: Shawnna, John David, Julia, Kelly, Michael Jr., Melinda, Nita, James, Mitch, Nora and great nieces and nephews. In addition, Gary is survived by his four children: Melissa Estes, Meagan Estes, John Estes and his wife Amanda Estes and Dana Estes. Last but certainly not least, Gary had seven beautiful grandchildren: Todd, Skylene, Alex-Andrea, Chastity, Hendrik, Veralyn and Nicholas. Gary has left this world but is no longer in pain. As he makes his journey to the other side, he is envisioned listening to rock n roll music while drumming along. A hippie at heart with enough kindness to swallow a whole city, Gary is remembered by numerous friends in the Florida area and will be missed greatly by everyone. Garys wishes were to be cremated and for those he loved not to mourn by his absence, but to rejoice in the glorious gift of life. Therefore, look up to the sky and put a smile on your face for our friend, our brother, our father… Gary Frank Estes. I love you with all my heart. All of the love in my heart is for you. -Gary, to his children.
