Gary E. Nickerson Obituary

We bid farewell to Gary E. Nickerson of Friendship, New York, whose journey of life gracefully concluded on September 8, 2025 at the age of 66. Gary touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

As Gary departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Gary may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Gary leaves behind.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Dale E. Nickerson and Rayveria "Jean" Nickerson (Abbott); his wife Ann C. Perryman; his daughters, Andrea Zazulia (Noah) of Palm City and Ashlynn Matteson (Darion) of Stannards; his grandchildren, Cora and Senna; and his siblings, Jan Aylor (Darrell), Lorna Ripple (Gary), Michele Skinner (Jack) and Jeff Nickerson (Mindy). He was also cherished by several nieces and nephews and many close friends.
