Gary L. Grounds

Gary Grounds, 72, flew home to Jesus on July 29,2022. Gary was born in South Bend IN on August 7, 1949 to Ralph and Pauline (Dawson) Grounds. He lived most of his life in the area graduating from Clay High School in 1968. He proudly served our country in the US Army and is a Vietnam Veteran.

Gary's life exemplified loving kindness to others with a soft spot for dogs. His fondness was evident whenever Cappy or Sandy were around... always on his lap. Gary's gentle and humble nature drew others to him where they would find respite and understanding. He was strong and persistent in the face of struggles encouraging others to do the same.

Gary is survived by his wife Brenda (Los) who shared his heart for serving others. They made a tireless team helping those in need. An occasional visit to Lake Michigan re-energized them both to continue their labors. Gary has been well loved in this life by his children Matt (Nicole) Grounds, Steve Grounds, Marcie (Leroy) Luna and Marty (Dawn) Paluszewski. He will be heartily missed daily by his grandchildren Gabby, Tomas, Sonya, Breanna, Dylan, Brody and Kade. Gary is also survived by his brother Dennis Grounds (Becky) of South Bend.
