Garry Lawrence Fetsch was born January 19, 1957, the fifth child – second son of Paul and Marcella Flusche Fetsch. He was born with a love of all things mechanical, outdoors, and challenging. By his parents’ example he learned early to observe more, talk less, and think through consequences before acting on impulse. He also learned to turn it off if you turned it on, and put it away when you were finished. By the time he graduated in 1975 from Sacred Heart High School in Muenster, he had been working summers hauling square hay bales with several good friends. He took great pride in trust and confidence area landowners placed in him by hiring his crew, knowing their work ethic and job efficiency. They never met a prairie or hay field they couldn’t make work look like fun. Garry and Susan married on June 24, 1978 at St. Peter’s Church in Lindsay. They acquired a small house and acreage near his parents to raise their family and continue working the land with his Dad, from which he experienced his greatest pride and joy. Over the last twelve years he valued time with his sons-in-law and especially his young grandchildren. Garry passed away at his home surrounded by his family on Friday, September 2, 2022. Garry is survived by his wife, Susan Sandmann Fetsch, three daughters, Janet Rickman and husband Robert, Kelly Hotovec and husband Chris, Christine Dawson and husband Lee. Additionally, four grandchildren Garrett Hotovec, and Robert, Annemarie, and George Rickman. Siblings include Robert Fetsch and wife Lu of LaPorte, Colorado; Evelyn Melvin and husband Ken of Allen, Texas; Monica Noyes and husband Robert of Dallas, Texas; and Joan Campbell of Tyler, Texas. Also Father-in-Law Edward Sandmann of Lindsay, Texas; and three sisters-in-law: Brenda Becker of Muenster, Texas; Carol Conaway and husband Curtis of Lindsay, Texas; and Jacque Ebarb and husband Tracy of Lavon, Texas and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother-in-law Paul Becker of Muenster, and brother-in-law Lee Campbell of Tyler.
