Born October 18, 1952, in Burlington, he was the son of James Edward and Anne Agnes Lange Waddell.
Gary was a general contractor for 35 years, operating his own business, specializing in cement finishing.
Gary was an avid outdoorsman; he loved to fish & hunt. He loved his friends & family very much, and was happiest surrounded by those he loved. He was a natural funny guy, and he loved playing harmless pranks on family/friends. He always waited to see how you were “going to get him back” & expected a prank in return. He loved animals & had several pets throughout the years, including a pet raccoon. He was a gentle giant…a big guy with a big heart who would help others whenever he could. He was a member of St Johns Catholic Church & loved God. He is & will continue to be missed.
Survivors include one sister, Mary Swanson of Burlington; one brother, Jim Waddell of Peoria, IL; two nieces, Annie Butcher of Jacksonville, FL, Kathy Waddell of Peoria, IL; one great-niece, Audry J. Engler, and one nephew, Danny Waddell of Burlington.
He was preceded in death by his parents, one sister and two nephews.
Cremation has been entrusted to the care of Prugh~Thielen Crematory.
There will be no visitation or services at this time. Burial will be held at a later date.
Prugh~Thielen Funeral Home & Crematory is in care of the arrangements.
