Mark Anthony Garry, 52, of Euclid, Minnesota, died unexpectedly at his home of natural causes on Tuesday September 4, 2012. Mark was born in Crookston, Minnesota on March 22, 1960, one of six children in the union of Terry and Dorothy Garry. While growing up in Euclid, he attended Central High School in Crookston. Mark followed in his father's footsteps and was employed by Garry Gravel until his early retirement in 1996. Up until his death, Mark would often be found in the summer months on his Husqvarna mowing the yards of his friends in the Euclid community. He was often seen riding his 4-wheeler and visiting with friends and neighbors and lending a helping hand when able. Mark enjoyed listening to the music of Johnny Cash as well as other memorable albums from the past. His true pride and joy were his grandchildren, Martin and Ashley, in which his refrigerator door was loaded with pictures of them. He took much pleasure in showing them off to everyone that visited. Mark's family and friends have been blessed by many memories. May God richly bless Mark's memory.
