Gary Lee Stone

Gary Lee Stone passed away peacefully on February 2nd at home in Gilbert, Arizona, under the loving care of his wife, Joy Stone. He was a devoted husband, a father to three sons (Jason, Stuart, and Keith), a grandfather to ten grandchildren, and a great-grandfather to four great-grandchildren. He is also survived by a brother (Randy Stone) and a sister (Tamara Stone Fox). 

Born in Logan, UT, he grew up on a sugar beet farm outside Weston, Idaho. After the family home burned down, he lived in the basement and worked hard from a young age. Often working multiple jobs, Gary stayed busy and loved learning new things. He built a career in law enforcement, rising to the rank of Lieutenant with the Pocatello Police Department. He later became a Latent Print Examiner in Arizona and worked as a defense contractor specializing in forensics. 

Service was a constant in his life. He was a dedicated home teacher, temple worker, and addiction recovery missionary, always willing to help others. He led quietly, teaching through action rather than words. 

Though his passing leaves a void, his example remains. He now walks with his mother and father, Raymond and Larue Stone, who preceded him in death. 

A memorial service will be held July 5, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. in the Weston Idaho Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that his memory be honored through service, hard work, and quiet acts of kindness. He will be deeply missed.
