Gary Stivason

For Gary Stivason

For those of you who don’t know the true gift of a better half, his name is Gary Stivason, my twin brother. Born July 16, 1967, he was my gift from God from our very first breath and my best friend throughout his life, until November 12, 2007, when the Good Lord took him home. Not only an avid hunter, most importantly, a lover of life and family who is sadly missed.

My Dearest Twin

When we were born on that warm July day, you were my gift from God, in such a very special way. The Lord not only gave me someone to take along life’s path, he also made me to look like you, and called me your other half. To have such a gift in which very few are bestowed, was such a great honor, something very few will ever know. You left this world knowing your family loves you so much, but I want you to know that special way my life was touched.

A twin brother to look up to and call my very own, I was never without a friend, I was never alone. As my life goes on, you will always live deep in my soul, until the Lord brings me home to you, and once again makes us whole.

I miss you so very much, but I know this is not the end for when the Good Lord comes for me, I’ll see you again my twin. Happy 49th Birthday.

Love you always,

Mom, Family, Nieces and Nephews, and Great Nephews, Tobin and Vincent
