Gary BILLS

(One day short of his 55th birthday) On Tuesday 11th August 2026, Gary passed peacefully at home. Dearly loved husband to Amanda. Dearly loved youngest son of Doris and John Bills. Gary loved his family of James and Brooke, Jessica and Rico and Jasmin, and grandchildren Arlo and Benji, he was so proud of them all. He loved farming, cricket, music and running. When running there was a finish line to cross, sadly after 5 years of trying to outrun his illness, Gary couldn't get across the finish line. Much loved brother and brother-in-law to Peter and Kim, Kevin and Robyn, loved Uncle to Hanna and Chris, Brayden and Katie, Caitlin, Daniel, Michael and Kerrie and Tyler. The family would like to thank all those who treated and cared for Gary in hospital and Hospice, throughout his illness. A special thank you to Amanda, our daughter-in-law, for her love, care and devotion to Gary.
