Gary Douglas Urtel Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on February 7, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Gary Douglas Urtel of Lockport, New York. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Gary Douglas Urtel to show support.
As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Gary may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Walter Urtel and Letitia Urtel (Bluhm). He is survived by: his wife Diane; his children, Wendy Garman (Gary) and Mark Urtel (Heather); his grandchildren, Adell Urtel and Owen Urtel; his brother Keith Urtel (Lynn); and his sister-in-law Dolores Jurbala. He is also survived by cousins, several beloved nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews.
At Gary's request, in lieu of funeral services, we ask that all who wish to participate may make a donation in Gary's name to Roswell Park Cancer Institute https://www.roswellpark.org. or to the animal rescue/shelter of your choice.
