Gary Brushwood

Gary Brushwood, 68 of Lake Lotawana, MO, died peacefully on August 3, 2021.  A celebration of life will be held in his hometown in Nodaway, MO, where he was an alumni of the Savannah Savages.  We will all gather to camp, BBQ, and enjoy fireworks – all Gary’s favorites.

Gary was a member of the IBEW local 124.  He started his profession in Kansas City starting with Muzak, then City Electronics who was then acquired by National Guardian.  He then ventured out to build and operate a successful low voltage company, specializing in CCTV, Fire Alarm, Nurse Call and Card Access systems for over two decades.

Gary bought a home with his loving wife at Lake Lotawana where they lived and played for over 25 years.  He was an avid boater, hunter, and fisherman.  He was happiest when he was outdoors surrounded by the ones he loved.

Gary touched many lives and will be missed.  Those that knew him know that he loved to make people laugh.  One of his favorite sayings was:  “Laughter is the best medicine”.  He was a giving loving man and would be the first person to step up and help if you were in need.

Gary is survived by his beloved wife, Bette; his son Gary Brushwood, Jr.; two grandchildren, Joseph and Noah; his father, Robert Lee; and two sisters, Annette Ramsay and Shirley Brushwood.  He was preceded in death by his mom, Anabelle (Calvert) Long, and sister, Debbie Stone. 

Cheers Gary – until we meet again!
