In Loving Memory Of Gary George Baltz II
Today, our community remembers Gary George Baltz II, a man whose presence left a mark on every life he touched.
“Gary’s memory reaches from the friends he made in Costa Rica to those connected to him through Birmingham, Alabama, where his story continues to be carried forward.”
Many of us had the privilege of meeting Gary in Costa Rica, where his quick wit, brilliant mind, and disarming kindness instantly drew people to him. He had a rare gift he made you feel seen, heard, and lighter simply by being in the room. And if a karaoke mic was anywhere within reach, Gary was already there before anyone else. He was the undisputed king.
Gary was, quite simply, a genius. His work lives on through 35 international patents, a testament to the scale of his innovation and the legacy of his intellect. Very few people walk through life leaving such a distinct imprint; Gary did it effortlessly.
Those closest to him are feeling this loss in ways words can hardly capture: his devastated mother, father, his sister, and the many friends who regarded him as family.
We also acknowledge his children: Gary III, Madeline, Jack, and Max.
May they one day understand how deeply their father was valued by people across the world.
Gary deserved to be honoured with the same dignity he gave others. Although his passing was handled quietly and without the ceremony his life warranted, those who loved him will ensure his story is told fully and with respect. His light, humour, and generosity remain with us.
To Gary, thank you for the conversations, the laughter, the lessons, and the memories. You changed more lives than you ever realised.
May you finally be at peace.
May those who knew your heart never forget it.
(For his professional legacy)
