Gary was born on July 12, 1955 to Tony and Dorothy Borusheski, of Pierce City. They both preceded him in death.

He graduated from Pierce City High School in 1973. On Nov. 19, 1983 Gary married the love of his life, Barbara Reno and she survives. To this union, they had two boys, Ryan Anthony, who preceded Gary in death, in 2022, and Blake Michael, of Dublin, Georgia. Gary began his working career at Well’s Aluminum in Monett; Kawneer in Arkansas and then returned to Monett and was employed at EFCO Corporation for many years. Gary, Barbara, and both boys eventually moved to Dublin, Georgia where he was plant manager at YKKAP. He eventually retired because of health reasons. He enjoyed spending time with his family, hunting, sports and NASCAR racing. Gary was a “master chef” and loved cooking for family and friends.
