Gary Addington Obituary

Great guy. Great to work with

Everyone here at Signature Properties absolutely loved Gary. He was always kind, generous, and in a good mood. Always ready to help others. He was truly an honorable and amazing man and he will be missed greatly. We all send our condolences to the family during this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Gary's family during this difficult time. I'll truly miss our conversation. Such a nice person.

We were fortunate to meet and visit many prospective properties with Gary. He was a pleasure to know and talk with. He was a true gentleman and an honest businessman. We pray Gary is now residing in his forever home of Heaven.

A big influence on all of us back in high school and a great guy. Deepest condolences and prayers for you all Todd. God bless.

Gary was a wonderful person. He was friendly and loved people. He was caring and helpful to all. He practiced good stewardship. He was a wonderful businessman as well. He was a faithful friend. So thankful he is in heaven living the dream with king Jesus Christ.

I had the pleasure of being a peer tutor for 7th graders my senior year. They placed me with Mr. Addington for P.E/Health. He was always so generous and kind. My mother knew him when she was in school and he was still teaching by the time I got to high school. I’m thankful for the short time I had the privilege to get to know him a little before graduating. My deepest condolences to his loved ones he left behind to carry on his legacy.

Mr. Addington was a huge part of my teen years and even after I graduated, he remembered me. He made our gym class fun, always had a smile and a “hey how are you?” Todd, I’m so sorry for your loss. Loosing a parent is so hard. Prayers for you all.

Im so sorry to hear about Gary passing . He was a wonderful man. I knew him when he was a teacher at Gate City. Every time I saw him he was smiling. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Gary was one of the kindest, gentlest souls I have ever had the privilege of knowing... a gentleman always! And the tales he could come up with ... always with a twinkle in eye. He was the best! He left us way too soon...he will be dearly missed!

I was extremely saddened when Steve Hobbs called me to let me know of Gary's passing. I knew Gary professionally for many years and found him to be a very knowledgeable and accommodating. He helped me on countless occasions and I will be forever grateful. I will miss our conversations we had on so many topics (other than business). My heartfelt prayers go out to all of Gary's family, friends and associates.

To all of Coach Addington’s family and friends, I’m sorry for your loss. My brother Fred Meade was a classmate and friend to him. As a little sister, I remember Fred’s friend with a smile. Later on Coach was my teacher and driving instructor.bless his heart. My heartfelt prayers are with each of you. Thanks Coach, for being you!!

He was one of the best teacher at Twin Springs

Todd and family just heard of Gary’s passing. Please accept my most sincere condolences. Graduated with Gary in this class of 1969, went one quarter with him at ETSU in the fall of 1969, and worked with him at Twin Springs until I left in the spring 1990. Saw him at the various class reunions. The last being our 50th. Due to prior commitments I can’t be there for the service.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends during this difficult time
I’ve known Gary for several years meeting him through my late husband Daniel O’Leary
He & Daniel became Real Estate partners and we became very close friends with him! He was more like family! Gary was the most selfless and kindest person I’d ever met! He had the biggest heart and I was very thankful for everything he done for (us) me during Daniel’s last months here on earth! (He even took time from his busy schedule to let Daniel come over and deer hunt because we knew Daniel wouldn’t be with us much longer) That was the kind of person Gary was! Always putting everyone first!
Gary was loved by many and will be greatly missed!
Rest in Peace my friend
I’m sure you and Daniel will be trying to sell Real Estate in Heaven

I am very sad to hear of Mr. Addington's passing. He was a great teacher and person. I hope Todd and his family are able to find some comfort during this sad time. You are in my thoughts.

His kindness will live on.He’ll be missed!

Todd, I am sorry to hear about your dad. I have very fond memories of him during our time at Twin Springs and he always had a smile when I would see him out. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Gary was such a great guy. He could always put a smile on your face with all his many stories. I will miss him dearly. Rest in peace my sweet friend.

Prayers going out to family and friends at this time! I worked with Gary on one of his many listings and he was so knowledgeable I saw then why he was held in such great regards! He was a great guy! May you find comfort in the coming days as you “lay to rest” this fine man!

I only knew him as a friend and neighbor and he was good at both of them. No more sitting on the porch just watching and talking or working together on the farm, Gary's presence will be felt for years to come. John 11:22-24 this is the day we all need to look forward to.

He was a great man and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

To Todd and all,
I am so sorry for your loss. Todd, you made your Dad so proud and rightly so! You are an amazing person and was a great student at Twin Springs High. Gary and I had some interesting conversations in the teacher's lounge while we taught together at Twin Springs. Besides you, I often enjoyed getting fishing tips from him and of course we loved talking basketball. He was a great coach. He has gone way to soon and I know he will be missed by not just you but his many friends. Due to prior plans, I will not be able to attend the service on Sat. I wanted you and your entire family to know that you are loved, that my thoughts will be with you, and that I am so very sorry for your loss. Always remember just how very proud he was to be your Dad!

Praying for your family. I'll always remember and cherish the many deals we had together along with our fun conversation. ♥
