Gary Donald Stiles, Sr., 67, of Inman, SC passed away on Monday, April 15, 2024 at Upstate Community Hospice House in Landrum, SC surrounded by his family. He is survived by his wife, Mary Stiles, daughter, Adrienne O'Brien, son, Jeremy Stiles, stepson Lee McCale and his wife Brandy Mccale, and granddaughter, Meagan Stiles.

Gary was a self-taught man who could do it all. Among his many titles, he worked as a mechanic, an electrician, and managed a hunting preserve. To call him hardworking would be an understatement. He was a kindhearted individual who always prioritized others over himself. He was an avid fisherman and hunter throughout his life. He found solace in the simple things in life, such as the sound of a rushing river and the rhythmic chirp of cicadas at night. He was loved by many and will be dearly missed by those who had the honor of knowing him. His memory will forever live on and be treasured by those he left behind.
A visitation will be held on Friday, April 19th, 2024 from 6:00-8:00 at Seawright Funeral Home in Inman, SC.
