Gary Patrick Boutin, 53, died peacefully surrounded by his loved ones on Tuesday September 24, 2024, at the McClure Miller Respite House in Colchester from a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was born October 1,1970 to Leo J. Boutin Jr and Mary (Beaupre) Boutin of Williston. For many years Gary worked for J&A Enterprises in Charlotte and in later years at D. Richards Automotive where he found friends he considered family.

Gary lived his life on his own terms, always keeping it real, from riding his motorcycle mock 100 to slowing down and enjoying hunting and fishing with family and friends. Many of his most cherished memories were of hunting with his son Chris. We will miss Gary dearly but take comfort he is with his family in heaven and no longer in pain.

Gary leaves behind his mother, Mary Boutin of Williston. His loving wife of many years, Julie (Bushway) Boutin of Hinesburg. His siblings and their spouses, Kevin & Alba Boutin of Fairfax, Mona Boutin of Fletcher, Tina & Dean Gallison of N. Middlesex, Loretta & Raymond Irvin of NC, his daughter Cierra Bennett of New York, and Grandson Daniel. Julie's children Colby & Stephanie Wootton and their children of Hastings, NY, Tyler Greene of Jericho, Adam & Samantha Greene and their children of St. Albans. Many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Special friends Tim Shepard and Kevin Poirier of D. Richards Automotive who not only laughed with him, cried with him.

He was predeceased by his father Leo J Boutin Jr, his son Christopher Boutin, his brother Steven Boutin and sisters, Monica Boutin & Kimberly Lewis, and stepdaughter Emily Wootton.

A visitation will be held for Gary on Saturday, October 5th from 1-3 pm with a memorial service to follow at 3pm at Gifford Funeral Home, 22 depot street, Richmond, VT.
