Gary William Newbrey
September 24, 1957 — July 28, 2025
Gary William Newbrey, 67, of Salina, Kansas, passed away on Monday, July 28, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, generosity, and quiet strength.
Born on September 24, 1957, in Beloit, Kansas, Gary was the beloved son of Wanda Faye (Michel) and William Irwin Newbrey. He carried their values throughout his life—honesty, kindness, and a deep devotion to family.
Gary found joy in the simple, meaningful things: the open road, the view through a camera lens, the texture of wood under his hands. He filled his days with projects, books, and moments of reflection—never idle, always engaged with the world around him. Above all, Gary was a steadfast family man who would do anything for those he loved.
He is survived by his daughters, Mindy Wingler (Josh) and Paige Newbrey, both of Salina, and his cherished grandson, Nate Wingler. Gary also leaves behind his sisters, Sheryl Ernst (Steve) of Wichita, Kansas and Sharon McKenzie of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Gary’s life was a quiet testament to dedication, curiosity, and compassion. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
In accordance with his wishes, cremation has been chosen.
Family will greet friends from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm, Monday, August 11 at Carlson-Geisendorf Funeral Home.
