Gary Earl Blansit went home to be with the Lord on May 14, 2003 at his home in Ash Grove, MO. He was born in Modesto, CA on September 2, 1940 to Earl and Melba Blansit. He was united in marriage to Sharon Bilyeu on December 14, 1967. He is survived by his wife, Sharon Blansit; three daughters, Deborah Graf and husband Doug of Crane, MO, Tamara Adams and husband Jack of Goldsboro, NC, and Trinity Kanan and husband Cody of Everton, MO; one son, Gary Gregg; five grandchildren, Adam Atchison, Thomas Atchison, Joshua Adams, Gary Adams and Wyatt Kanan; his parents, Earl and Melba Blansit of Ozark, MO; a sister, Viva Reasoner and husband Gene of Ozark, MO; a brother, Nolan Blansit and wife Cindy of Eugene, OR; a sister-in-law, Jean Ann Woody and husband Mike of Ozark, MO; and a host of extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by a brother, Harley Blansit and both maternal and paternal grandparents. Gary enjoyed a 30 year career in the automobile business, all in the Springfield area. He was known for his integrity and developed many life long friendships and loyal customers. In recent years, he re-dedicated his life to the Lord and became an avid Bible reader and at the time of his death had read the Bible through seven times. During this time, Gary was miraculously healed of cancer and was quick to give God the glory. His favorite time of day was in the mornings when he would read the Bible, spend time in prayer and give God thanks for His many blessings. He enjoyed nature and being with his grandchildren. He was a kind, caring, compassionate man who was truly interested in all those who crossed his path. He was a talented singer who loved to sing to the Lord no matter where he was. Above all else, Gary loved three things: his Savior, his family and life itself. He was and will always be Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Uncle, Friend, and “Papa.” We were all blessed to have him here and look forward to being reunited with him in our eternal home.
