 Gary Michael Heilner

Gary Michael Heilner, age 65 of Fowlerville, passed away peacefully at home on October 23, 2022. He was born November 5, 1956 in Detroit, MI to Howard and Phylllis (Haviland) Heilner. Gary is survived by his wife of 44 years, Darlene (Musolf) Heilner, his children: April (Dell Ott) Heilner, Zachary (Lindsay) Heilner, Justin Heilner, Ryan Heilner and Rachael (Chris) King, as well as 5 siblings: John (Rita) Heilner, Linda Niendorf, Tom (Barbara) Heilner, Robert Heilner, and Deborah (Steven) Heacock.

Gary was a truck driver for almost 40 years and worked hard to support his family. He always knew how to fix anything and was willing to help anyone in need. He enjoyed family outings, fishing on Lake Erie, riding his motorcycle, attending auctions, dancing when the right music came along and giving out lots of free advice. He always told you what you NEEDED to hear not what you wanted to hear. He had a heart of gold. Once you met him, you never forgot who he was. He will be greatly missed by his family and in our hearts forever.
