Gary Robert Stauffer
Obituary
Gary Robert Stauffer, age 63, born in
Newton on Jan. 15, 1953, the son of Mahlon Roy and Betty Stauffer,
passed away on Thursday (April 14, 2016) at his home in Amity,
Missouri.
On March 4, 1984, Gary and Clara Louise
Peters were united in marriage in Hiawatha. Gary was a school bus
driver for Maysville R-1 Schools for over 11 years. He loved mushroom
hunting, fishing and practical jokes.
Gary was a passionate, determined
advocate for abused children, adults and animals. He is best known
for being a Guardian Angel and helped anyone in need.
Long before Gary was diagnosed with his
illness, he was actively seeking to help those with cancer and other
illnesses with alternative methods. Some credit Gary with saving
their lives with his knowledge of juicing and other alternative
methods of treatment. Gary also most recently was advocating for the
legalization of medical marijuana, for its known benefits for pain
relief and he strongly believed cannabis has possible curative
properties for some cancers and other illnesses.
Gary is preceded in death by his
parents. Survivors include his wife Louise of the home; daughter,
Tabitha Stauffer of the home; brother, Gregg Stauffer, mother-in-law,
Wilma Peters; four brother-in-laws; three sister-in-laws; several
nieces and nephews; and many friends.
Graveside services will be 11 a.m.
Saturday, April 16, 2016, at Amity Cemetery, Amity, Missouri.
Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. on
Friday at Turner Family Funeral Home of Maysville, Missouri.
