Obituary for Gary Dean Gajdosik
Gary Dean Gajdosik, of Potosi, Missouri, was born August 13, 1950 in St. Louis, Missouri, a son of Elsie Bernice (Missey) Hudson and the late Frank Gajdosik. Gary passed away on April 13, 2022, having reached the age of seventy-one years, and eight months, from an unexpected battle with cancer. Although we are sad to let him go, he lives on through his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Gary grew up in Richwoods, Missouri, and loved his family, working outdoors, driving off-road vehicles, spending time by the water and watching old westerns.
We who remain to love him and hold his memory close are his mother, Bernice Hudson; four daughters, Hope Mechelle Betts (husband, Shannon Betts), Tracy Lynn Godat (husband, Dave Godat), Megan Renee Gajdosik, Taylor Nicole Gajdosik-Parmley (husband, Jonathan Parmley) and his son, Chad Wallis (wife, Audrey Cain). Gary was a grandpa of eleven; Coty Betts (wife, Charity), Alec Betts, Devin Godat, Caleb Godat, Trenton Betts (wife, Sierra), Samuel Godat, Chloe Betts, Josiah Godat, Autumn Abryanna Wallis, Airianna Courville and Izaak Kaiden Betts. He was great grandpa of three little girls, Shae Lynn, Myla Ann, and Quincy Jade.
Gary was preceded in death by his father, Frank Gajdosik and his brother, Randy Lynn Hudson.
