Gary Steven Bednar Obituary

Gary S. Bednar

December 31, 1961 – April 25, 2026


Gary S. Bednar, 64, passed away peacefully on April 25, 2026, after facing health challenges throughout much of his life. Despite those struggles, Gary found joy in life’s simple pleasures and brought warmth and happiness to those who knew him best.


Gary enjoyed spending his time watching football games and his favorite game shows. Music was always an important part of his life, and in his younger years he loved playing baseball. He also found happiness in caring for his fish and trying his luck with scratch-off lottery tickets — small joys that never failed to bring a smile to his face.


He was predeceased by his loving parents, Lois Bednar (née White) and Matthew Bednar, as well as his brother, Matthew Bednar Jr.


Gary is survived by his devoted siblings: Joseph Bednar and his wife, Debbie; John Bednar; Patricia Gonzalez;  Maureen Laverty and her partner, Kenneth “Kenny” Zaun; and Mary DelVecchio and her husband, Christian. He also leaves behind many loving nieces and nephews who will cherish his memory.


The family extends heartfelt gratitude to NewBridge Services for the compassion, care, and kindness shown to Gary throughout his time with them. Their support meant so much to Gary and his family.


Gary will be remembered for his quiet strength, enduring spirit, and the comfort he found in everyday moments. He will be deeply missed by all who loved him.
