Gary Wayne Zeissig of Markle passed away on June 14, 2026, at the age of 71.
Born June 22, 1954, to Werner and Eileen Zeissig, Gary grew up on a farm near Roanoke, where he developed a love of farming and old farm equipment, particularly tractors. After graduating from Concordia High School in Fort Wayne and a mine and water reclamation school in Kentucky, he worked over 30 years at J. Edward Roush Lake (formerly Huntington Reservoir) doing recreation maintenance and water management. After retirement, he continued to do seasonal farming for friends and became an avid bicycle rider.
He is survived by his brothers, Tom (Marcy) and Jon (Cindy), and his sister, Sue (Dennis), plus several nieces and nephews.
Per his wishes, a private family service was held in July.
