Gary Michael Stucker

Gary Michael Stucker, age 53 died on January 7, 2019, in Los Angeles, California.

Gary is survived by his son, Griffin Stucker of Zionsville, Indiana ; his Mother, Patricia Sheehan, of Indianapolis, Indiana; his father, Mark Stucker (Carol Stucker) of Brownsburg, Indiana; his siblings Dawn Rose (Mark Nelson), Gregory Stucker (Christin Doran), Kristin Simmons (Dalton Simmons), and Lesley Bracket (Stephen Brackett).

Gary was born in Indianapolis, Indiana to parents Mark Stucker and Patricia Sheehan.  He lived most of his life in Indianapolis, but his sense of adventure allowed him to also live in Key West, Florida and Los Angeles, California.  Gary was a free spirit. He worked various jobs that allowed him to enjoy life as he saw fit.  He excelled in each form of work he chose.  Gary enjoyed landscaping and was able to use his creativity to enhance the beauty of nature for others.

Gary was most proud of his beloved son Griffin. Griffin (23) is a graduate of Purdue University and an incredible young man.

Gary would be the first to attribute Griffin’s success to Griffin and his mother, Lynn Stucker. Gary was overwhelmed with pride and joy whenever he spoke of Griffin. Gary, Griffin, Patricia Sheehan and his cousin’s, Patrick Rose and Sydney Rose traveled to Ireland and Colorado when children. Griffin, Patrick and Sydney will always cherish these memories.

Gary was loved by all that had the pleasure to call him family or friend. His personality and wit allowed him to inspire authentic conversation with people from all walks of life.  Gary was a consummate story teller.  His sense of humor, infectious laugh, love of all sports, and ability to love and accept everyone will be how he is always remembered. Gary’s friends invariably speak of Gary’s big heart, and how he was always willing to help a friend.

Our family and friends will attend a short service on January 26, 2019 beginning at 1:30 pm at Calvary Cemetery Chapel (435 West Troy Avenue, Indianapolis) and burial at Holy Cross Cemetery immediately following.
