I posted this 4 years ago and thought it was appropriate to share this again since today is Funeral Director Recognition Day! We’re so proud of Gary and all he does to serve our community! ❤️❤️❤️

❤️Today is National Funeral Director Appreciation Day! We might be a little biased, but we think we have the greatest funeral director around!! Gary Deiters, we appreciate you!! ❤️

With over 30 years of experience, Gary knows that being a funeral director is more than just a job...it’s a gift to serve people in their time of need.

Gary has dedicated his life to helping families cope with the loss of a loved one. He has a genuine heart filled with compassion and empathy. He is able to see things from a grieving person’s perspective and help them through the process. He’s strong enough to maintain composure in the face of sadness, yet soft enough to provide comfort and peace to those that are hurting.

Gary takes great pride in assisting local families by providing an incomparable level of service with impeccable attention to detail from start to finish. He enjoys working with families to creatively personalize each service to feature their loved one.

I found a quote that I think sums it up...

“The calling of a funeral director is to be there when someone is in need. To be there no matter the time, or the condition. To be there with words of comfort and concern. To be there to give quiet guidance through the storm. To be there for the final tribute that honors a life. There is no higher privilege.”

~ Doug Manning

Gary’s strength, sensitivity, generosity and great personality make him a special part of our community. If you see him out and about, be sure to let him know you appreciate him as much as we do! ❤️❤️❤️

It was so nice to get this text this morning on Funeral Director Recognition Day from a family we recently served…

Good morning! My name is Karen Maurer. You guys did my mom's (June Craig) funeral about a month ago and my dad's back in 2020. Anyway today is Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day and I just want to say thank you. You're very professional and good at what you do. We were very pleased with both mom and dad's services. Thank you! ❤️

You might not know about the volunteer work Gary does, but he’s currently serving on the Leisure Acres board, helping our local seniors with affordable housing. He was proud to present a check for $5000.00 on behalf of the Leisure Acres board to Kiwanis to help with their annual food and gift drive for the children in our community. Special thanks to Scott and Jenny Holzem and our local Kiwanis Club for their dedication to making Christmas better for local families! 🎄❤️🎁

Happy New Year!! Hope your year is full of happiness and love! ❤️
