Gary Warren Roper, age 65, of Stonefort, IL passed away August 30, 2019 at Memorial Hospital in Carbondale, IL.
Gary was born to Gale and Mildred (Gallagher) Roper on January 27, 1954 in St. Louis, MO. He married Nancy Whiteside on June 15, 1974. Gary retired from Burlington Northern Railroad and afterwards started several small businesses. He had a strong love for Mustang cars, auctioning which included several of his pride and joy collections (a.k.a. junk) and riding his motorcycles in crocs. However, most days he just wanted to stay home and talk to his dog and best friend, Jasmine.
