Gary Lee McClure, 62, of Cedar Rapids, died Monday, June 5, 2017 after a courageous eleven year fight against cancer.  Funeral Mass: 11:00 am Monday, June 12, 2017 at All Saints Catholic Church in Cedar Rapids with visitation two hours prior to service.

Gary was born February 4, 1955 in Washington, Iowa.  He married Linda Bierman on September 20, 1975 in Dyersville, IA.

Gary worked at Hy-Vee for thirty-nine years where he retired as a store director in 2010.  One of his favorite things to do was plan vacations and travel with his family.  He traveled all over the United States and the world.  Gary’s favorite place to visit was the Big Island of Hawaii, which was like a second home. 

Gary was a selfless man, devoted husband, loving father and papa.  He enjoyed time with his family, fishing, golfing, biking, being outdoors, and cooking.

Left to cherish his memories are his wife of forty-two years, Linda McClure; three children, Jennifer (Marshall) Sanders, Brian (Stephanie) McClure, and Jeff (Trisha) McClure.  He is remembered by his grandchildren, Truman, Grayson, Holden, Graham, Emery, Asher, and Baby Girl McClure due in October.  He is also survived by his parents, Patricia and Marvin McClure of Washington, Iowa, and his younger sisters, Sue (Steve) Norman, Jane (Ron) Janecek, and Judy (Alan) Wery.

Gary was an Eagle Scout and was very generous with his time and energy to the Boy Scouts.  Memorials may be directed to Camp Wakonda Boy Scout Camp in Central City in Gary's memory.
