Gary S. Giles, age 55, peacefully passed away at the IMC hosptial in Murray, Utah on November 4, 2018 while surrounded by his loving family. He was born on March 13, 1963 in Heber City, Utah to Stanley and Dianne (Simmons) Giles. He served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Gary married the love of his life, Juanita Thompson on March 29, 1985. They were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple on June 21, 1986. Gary was Juanita’s best friend and soul mate. Together they shared their love for traveling and the great outdoors. He lived the perfect example of Christlike love, and was always willing to help someone in need. His latest love was being a worker in the Manti Temple with his beloved wife. Heaven gained the heart of our family, his loss will be felt by many. He knew how to make everyone around him smile.

He leaves behind many more family members and friends who love and adore him.
