Gary Herbert Lonsdale was born in Trona, California February 29, 1948. He stepped into Heaven on February 27, 2025. Preceding him in death were his parents Billings Louis Lonsdale and Opal Mae Wilson Lonsdale. He is survived by siblings William Richard Lonsdale of Scottsdale, Arizona and Patricia Annetta Lonsdale Perkins of Brookhaven, Mississippi, and precious, dear friends Leonard and Yesenia Simon.

Gary was reared in Concord, California. A graduate of Hayward State University, Gary began his career as a stock broker and retired as President of ProTek Marketing, LLC.

Gary truly loved the Lord, people and nature. He enjoyed many friendships and his large menagerie of animals. He looked forward to Friday evening prime rib dinner at Ryderz Restaurant and attentive waitress Virginia.

In honoring Gary’s desires, there will be no memorial service. As a tribute to Gary, please consider a donation to a local animal rescue organization in his name.
