Gary Duane Jorgenson

Gary was born in Cottage Grove, Oregon to Duane A. Jorgenson and Dorothy J. (Rhodes) Jorgenson. He spent most of his life in the Pacific Northwest with a few side adventures to Montana and Mississippi. 

He loved the outdoors and worked on Hoods Canal in the Oyster and Clamming Industry all of his adult life. 

He is survived by a sister Terri L. Pattee (Robert) in Raymond, WA, a brother Wade A. Jorgenson (Susan) in Port Ludlow, WA and a daughter Nellita O'Daniel in Billings, MT. 

After many years struggling with various addictions; Gary shared with his big sister this very proud accomplishment: "I've been clean for 10 years and quit smoking for 5 years!" I'm so proud of you "baby brother" for never giving up on yourself and you still had your tender heart and sweet spirit after years of personal struggle! You made my heart "smile" and Jesus is so faithful to answered years of prayers for this lost prodigal son. No more fear, confusion, or pain as you are now in the Great Outdoors of Heaven!
